Main contractors are being invited to attend two market testing days in Manchester and Blackpool next month.

The North West Construction Hub (NWCH) is hosting the events ahead of re-procuring the Medium Value Framework, which delivers a range of projects for councils and other publicly funded bodies in the North West of England.

Each scheme is valued between £2 million - £9 million and 11 firms will be aiming to re-secure their place on the framework. The companies are; Bam, Conlon, Galliford Try, ISG, Keepmoat, Kier, Laing O'Rourke, Seddon, VINCI, Wates and Willmott Dixon.


NWCH said: "We would like to involve you in how to take the next frameworks forward, making them future-proof and attractive to clients and contractors, discuss achievements to date and your thoughts and ideas on e.g. market conditions.

"This is open to all main contractor construction companies who wish share their knowledge and experience and who may bid for the new framework."

The two bidders days will take place at the Solaris Centre in Blackpool pm 12 February and in Manchester (venue TBA) on 27 February.
