Contractors and suppliers sought for £500m submarine base upgrade

VolkerStevin is to host a supplier engagement day as it looks for subcontractors and suppliers to work on the £500 million HM Naval Base Clyde development.

The contractor is one of several bidders for work to prepare the base for the next generation of Dreadnought ballistic missile submarines..

It is estimated that 1,000 construction jobs will be created as part of the development project.

The development of the base will go hand in hand with numerous infrastructure improvements to accommodate the increase in personnel, which will see some 8,200 service personnel and families living in the area.



VolkerStevin is holding a supplier engagement day on February 9 at Helensburgh Parish Church in Dunbartonshire to develop its supply chain for the project in case it wins a role.
