The Blue Light Partnership consortium led by Miller Construction and Cofley is staging another open day for subcontractors interested in working on its £80m Avon and Somerset Police Accommodation PFI Project.

Suppliers based in the region are invited to the event at the Hilton Bristol Hotel, Woodlands Lane, Bradley Stoke, Bristol, BS32 4JF on Wednesday June 13.

Firms will get the chance to meet Miller representatives and discover what contracts are up for grabs.

Interested companies can email [email protected] to register their details.

Kevin Dickson of Miller Construction, said: “We are pleased to be able to welcome local subcontractors to our third Meet the Buyer event, who have an interest in working with us on the Avon and Somerset PFI Project.

“Last month’s event in Bridgwater was a huge success and we would like to thank everyone who attended and registered their interest with us.

“The open days are providing us with the opportunity to meet with potential local sub-contractors who will work with us to deliver the four contracts within this project, which is proving to be a worthwhile experience.

“Attendance at the events has been high as has the calibre of companies we have met to date.  We look forward to welcoming subcontractors from the area that we are still to meet.”

The Avon and Somerset Police Accommodation PFI Project includes Somerset’s Operations Base which will be home to a Custody and Crime Investigation Centre, Specialist Operations and an Enquiry Office; a Custody and Crime Investigation Centre and Police Station in Patchway; a Custody and Crime Investigation Centre in Keynsham and a Tri-force Indoor Firearms Training Centre for Avon and Somerset, Wiltshire and Gloucestershire police forces, near Portishead.
