Moray West Supply Chain
Moray West is committed to supporting the Scottish and UK supply chain and wants to work in close partnership with the private and public sector to ensure that opportunities are realised.
We are involved in a range of activities to develop a new offshore wind supply chain in the North of Scotland, this will help to ensure that the project is delivered as competitively as possible. This includes:
- Leadership of the DeepWind offshore wind cluster
- Ensuring we have an excellent understanding of the supply chain
- Identifying opportunities to support innovation
- Contributing to skills readiness
When our main contractors have been appointed we will be hosting Meet the Buyer Events to engage local suppliers. This will be promoted through the DeepWind cluster organisation.
We also recommend that suppliers, innovators and skills providers join the cluster and contact paul.obrien@hient.co.uk for further information.
If you are interested in working with us to deliver the project please visit our Supply Chain Register and send us your details.
