CECA Southern were pleased to attend the Lower Thames Crossing (LTC) Supply Chain Roadshow in Rochester, Kent on Tuesday 12 May. The LTC Procurement Team were supported by the Kent Invicta Chamber of Commerce and key delivery partners Skanska Construction UK Ltd, Bouygues Murphy JV & Balfour Beatty Civil Engineering Ltd. The LTC outline their objective as follows:
Our ambition is to deliver the UK’s greenest road, and to do the right thing for local communities and the environment. We can only achieve this with the support of our supply chain, and it is therefore critical that any supplier working on LTC can demonstrate commitments to supporting delivery of our ambitions:
- Supporting LTC to leave a skills legacy for the local community. This means recruiting a local workforce and upskilling the supply chain to enable meaningful progression into higher paid higher skilled work.
- Delivering LTC with the lowest practicable carbon. This includes adoption of our ‘zero emissions’ intent, eradication of diesel on site and promotion of alternative sustainable fuels.
- Helping to create successful opportunities by providing early careers roles, such as apprenticeships, and inspiring young people into construction through delivery of STEM engagement.
