Summary of the contracting process

The West Midlands Combined Authority is inviting businesses to participate in the "Event Invitation: Mayoral & HS2 Supply Chain Summit for SME's," a virtual conference scheduled for 14 October 2020, running from 11:45 to 13:30. This event marks an important phase of the procurement process, currently at the planning stage, and is directly linked to HS2, Europe's largest infrastructure project, which is set to provide extensive opportunities across the West Midlands region. Registration for the event must be completed by 12 October 2020, offering insights into forthcoming supply chain opportunities related to this significant investment in construction work.

This summit presents a vital opportunity for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs) looking to engage with the HS2 supply chain, which is expected to channel a substantial portion of the £100bn budget into local businesses over more than a decade. Companies from various sectors, especially those aiming to diversify following the impacts of Covid-19, will find valuable information about procurement opportunities, support for meeting procurement criteria, and how to integrate into HS2's supply chain. Early registration is encouraged due to limited spaces, and attendees will have priority access to further engagement sessions with supply chain experts.
