Meet the Buyer Event
Main contract details
This meet the buyer event is aimed at sub-contractors and suppliers.
It is an excellent opportunity to meet the main building and civil engineering contractors appointed to the YORbuild2 and YORcivil2 frameworks who collectively are delivering over £300m of framework projects in our region each year.
Find out more about the current and future pipeline of work and how you can bid for work from framework contractors and possibly become their approved sub-contractors or suppliers.
The event is intended to promote and support supply chain engagement which is a key theme of the YORhub frameworks.
The event will also be attended by key staff from the five lead framework organisations who will lead on discussions that will run alongside the meet the buyer event.

What is YORhub
The YORhub suite of construction frameworks have grown in popularity since the YORbuild framework was launched in 2009, and now comprises three frameworks - YORbuild2, YORcivil2 and YORconsult2 (due to be launched later this year).
The frameworks have been established by five Yorkshire and Humber local authorities and are used by local authorities and other public sector organisations including universities, blue light organisations and the health sector. Most works are carried out within the Yorkshire & Humber region but the frameworks are delivering major projects in neighbouring areas.
Further details of the YORhub frameworks can be found on the YORhub website.
