GET READY FOR GROWTH – FREE EVENT

Discover procurement opportunities, business growth support and meet the buyers

There are upward of £1.7bn prime contractor and supply chain opportunities at RAF Lakenheath over the next 5-10 years as part of the USAF programme to base the F35 Fighter and its supporting personnel in the UK. This has opened up opportunities for UK and especially local contractors to provide services.

Come join us at a free to attend and unique event, aimed at bringing together major national and multi-national construction contractors and the RAF Lakenheath procurement team with local businesses to present upcoming opportunities and how to become part of their supply chains.

There is real opportunity for local firms to benefit from engaging with these supply chains, who are also planning and delivering further projects across East Anglia. West Suffolk Councils have teamed up with West Suffolk College, New Anglia Local Enterprise Partnership, Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority, Suffolk Chamber of Commerce, Job Centre Plus and Suffolk County Council to provide opportunity for businesses to find out more about capital grant funding and skills support available now to ensure your business is ready for the opportunities..

Leading national and multinational companies Balfour Beatty, Galliford Try and Wates are three of the major firms that have been shortlisted to the preferred bidder stage for the RAF Lakenheath project. They will be speaking to businesses around their vision for effective procurement in the area and how businesses can become part of their supply chain for future opportunities.

Followed by a buffet lunch and chance to meet the buyers and extend your network following the event, this is an opportunity not to be missed!
