With just two weeks to go until its biggest ever ‘Meet the Contractor’ event launches, High Speed Two (HS2) Ltd is making a final call for UK businesses to register their attendance. 

This year’s event is split into two weeks of interactive webinars. The first week (15-17/11) will focus on contract opportunities linked to the construction of HS2’s stations, while the second week (29/11-01/12) aligns to Main Works Civils opportunities.  

HS2’s seven joint venture contractors and 16 subcontractors will share details of their procurement pipelines, which include over 250 packages of work valued between EUR 4,735.73 (GBP4,000) and EUR187.05 million (GBP158million).  

Advance registration shows there’s a huge appetite for the event from UK-based businesses of all sizes. Almost 5,000 virtual seats have already been booked for the HS2 stations event and almost 7,000 for the Main Works Civils event. Applications to meet 1-2-1 with HS2’s construction partners and subcontractors has also seen an overwhelming response, with over 3,500 applications received.
