• Britishvolt are fully committed to actively engaging our potential supply chain, with a core focus on local business.
• Britishvolt will have an ongoing, developing and varied requirement for a range of goods and services; as such supplier opportunities in the short, mid and long-term are significant.
• This Outreach session is an opportunity for potential suppliers to participate in an engagement, and Q&A session, with a member of the Britishvolt Procurement management team.

Britishvolt have announced plans to develop one of the largest battery manufacturing plants in Europe in Northumberland.

Organised in partnership with the NEAA, NEPIC and Supply Chain North East, this event will be the first in a series of supplier focussed engagement sessions which will provide businesses an opportunity to ask direct questions to the Britishvolt Procurement team.

You will hear about the core Procurement ideologies and become aware of the ongoing engagement methodology, including an understanding of the ongoing approach to active supplier engagement. An outcome of the session will be that all potential suppliers will get a clear understanding of the process from registering their interest to ultimately (as relevant and appropriate) becoming a supplier to Britishvolt.

You will have the opportunity to submit a question in advance which will be answered either during or within 48 hours of the event.
