Supply chain
The A303 Stonehenge project is the largest road scheme planned in the south-west in recent years, with the potential to create many opportunities for suppliers locally, regionally, nationally and internationally.
This isn't just limited to larger companies - local businesses and small and medium enterprises would also have the chance to work with the project and join our supply chain through our contractors.
Our plan would allow us to appoint several main, or Tier 1, contractors to deliver the scheme.
- Archaeology - to carry out archaeology investigations
- Preliminary works - to get the site ready for construction
- Main works – to build the scheme
These contractors would create a range of opportunities that would require support from a wide variety of businesses of all sizes over a number of years. Materials and equipment would be needed, as well as people with the right expertise.
What are the opportunities?
Some examples of the types of services our contractors might need include:
People

- Site labour
- Security

- Vehicle maintenance and recovery
