Now, due to phenomenal demand, Sub-Sight has extended its scope to cover another 13 counties (see below) and, as a result, has set a target of £25m in new contracts for sub-contractors in this newly extended area.

The 4000+ current projects within this region amount to a total value of over £3.8billion so far this year, ands this does not include the work going on in preparation for the London 2012 Olympics. This means that there will be somewhere in the region of 80,000 sub-contract packages going out to tender. Our intention is to ensure that, through effective networking on their behalf, our Sub-Sight members pick up a proportion of this work.

£25million works out at less than 1% of the total works being carried out in the region. Not such an unrealistic target after all? It stands to reason, when analysing these figures, that many of the sub-contract packages on projects in this region must be going to firms from outside the geographical region. Sub-Sight aims to re-claim a portion of the revenue in the Midlands and South-East of England for local firms.
