In the news this week
Coronavirus: £3bn for NHS to prepare for possible second wave
With the £3bn being made available from the government immediately to help tackle COVID-19, there is a high expectation that we will start to see an increase in tenders being released from the NHS covering various areas.
Highways England inviting feedback on £771m project tender
Highways England is undertaking market engagement for the £771m A66 Northern TransPennine road project, for which a prior information notice was released last week.
A questionnaire and a virtual supplier event in September have also been arranged to engage with suppliers and help develop their procurement strategy. This project will create many opportunities for suppliers, and contractors have been asked to register their interest in either the questionnaire or the event with Highways England.
£150m in contracts to demolish Redcar Steelworks
A programme of demolition work across the a vast site in the North East of England has been announced.
The work on the Redcar Steelworks is set to last five years and will see the demolition of nine buildings which include the blast furnace, coke ovens, sinter plant and power station. Numerous opportunities will be created as a result of this project.
