Do you own an SME?
Yes? Then HS2 Ltd wants to hear from you, because it needs all sorts of businesses to build the railway and provide goods and services to its workers. Its shopping list is more varied than you might think. As well as tools, materials and services which are required for construction; it also needs to ensure that its workforce (up to 30,000 people at the peak of the works) has everything it may need.
HS2 is trying to find more local businesses (those that are based along the route of the new railway) that could become part of its supply chain. To help the main works contractors find these companies, they are building a ‘Local Business Register’.
By adding your details to the local business register you will hear about events and engagements activities to help get you HS2 ready. The register is also shared with contractors working on the project, so if you have a service, product or trade which could add value to the supply chain find out more https://www.hs2.org.uk/supply-chain/hs2-and-your-business/
