Wates Smartspace in partnership with Wirral Council are keen to maximise opportunities for local businesses and will be hosting a ‘Meet the Buyer’ event for potential suppliers and subcontractors for the construction works at Bebington Police Station.

The drop in session will be held on 27th June 2016 between 10am and 3pm at Bebington Civic Centre, Wirral.

Potential suppliers, local businesses and members of the public are encouraged to attend the event to tender for a range of opportunities and will have the opportunity to talk directly to the contracts team from Wates Smartspace.

The objective of the event is to encourage local suppliers to:

  • Meet Wates staff and gain an overview of the proposed works
  • Understand how Wates supports employment, training and development schemes
  • Find out what minimum quality standards are required

Andy Hughes, Business Unit Director for Wates Smartspace said: “Wates and Wirral Council have shared commitment in ensuring that local suppliers and subcontractors are engaged in the delivery of the new development in Bebington.”
