Around 200 construction businesses are signed up to a major meet the buy event on Friday to hear The West Yorkshire Combined Authority set out plans for a £1bn pipeline of transport schemes over the next decade.

The Growth Deal Transport Programme includes 26 schemes that will create thousands of jobs during the development and construction phases.

There will be opportunities for firms to find out more about the procurement process, and provide feedback and find out how to register as a potential supplier.

Keith Wakefield, chair of  the WYCA Transport Committee, said: “The Programme got underway with the start of work on the Wakefield Eastern Relief Road in July and a range of schemes are scheduled to start in the next couple of years.

“Over the Programme’s 10 years, we will be commissioning over £1bn of work so this represents a huge opportunity for local companies.

“We want organisations representing every stage of the supply chain, from legal firms to construction contractors to come to this event.

“They will be able to find out what we and our partners in the districts have planned and next steps in the procurement procedure.”

Meet the buyer details

Location: Wakefield’s Unity Hall on Friday 4 December from 8.30am to 2pm.

Companies can still register and find out more on the website.
