A project of this scale is likely to generate substantial subcontract and supply chain opportunities throughout the delivery programme.

Potential opportunity areas may include:

• groundworks and infrastructure packages

• steel frame and structural works

• roofing and cladding systems

• M&E installation packages

• internal fit-out and finishing trades

• education furniture and specialist equipment
