Dozens of businesses are set to attend an early morning networking event in Plymouth to highlight supply opportunities on offer during the design, installation, and refurbishment and repair of water management infrastructure across Devonport Royal Dockyard.
The breakfast session on May 14 provides a fantastic opportunity for prospective suppliers to meet with Babcock International’s project team and main framework contractors Southampton Marine Services (the SMS Group) Ltd.
The free-to-attend Meet the Buyer Breakfast event is being hosted at Plymouth Argyle’s Home Park stadium by the principal contractor, the SMS Group, Devon & Plymouth Chamber of Commerce and Babcock International. Registration opens at 6.45am and the networking session runs until 9.30am.
Collectively they will unveil project plans and provide those attending with essential knowledge in readiness to supply materials, component supplies and specialist marine engineering services to future waterfront assets set for Babcock’s Devonport facility.

Elliot Biercewicz, Babcock’s head of procurement for site infrastructure based at Devonport, said:
“One of our framework goals is to play a part in the ongoing development of our site and to see more money invested and retained in the South West economy, for the benefit of local communities as well as businesses.
“We’re delighted with this new inclusive supply chain approach because it not only opens up supply opportunities for local firms but sustains and creates jobs and allows local people to benefit from investment coming into the dockyard.”
Plymouth and South West based firms attending will get the opportunity to network, forge strong links with other local suppliers and meet face-to-face with engineers, procurement leads, and design experts involved directly with the framework projects.
