East<\/a>, the Lothians and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scotborders.gov.uk\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Scottish Borders<\/a> is seeking to further strengthen its supply chain with an additional tier 1 construction contractor<\/h2>\n<p>In its 10 years of operation, having successfully handed over 80 new or refurbished facilities, Hub South East is looking for an additional Tier 1 <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/covid19-construction\/79676\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">construction contractor<\/a> to assist in achieving these.<\/p>\n<p>Recognising that there are a number of future ambitions which can make the programme even more successful and given the potential future pipeline opportunities that lay ahead, Hub South East is looking for an additional Tier 1 construction partner to assist in achieving these.<\/p>\n<h3>\u2018An engine for rebuilding the economy\u2019<\/h3>\n<p>Paul McGirk, chief executive of Hub South East, said: \u201cAs we emerge from the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/covid-19-construction-news\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Covid-19 pandemic<\/a>, it is likely that social infrastructure will become an engine for rebuilding the economy.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe need for investment in this area will be more apparent than ever and in the Hub programme, Government and local public sector partners have the perfect vehicle for implementing that investment.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cOur approach is focused on building strong relationships, increasing efficiency, raising quality, championing innovation, and continually improving our performance.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWhilst these will remain our core underlying objectives, we now seek to expand our understanding and delivery capability in the core areas our clients tell us will be their priority over the next 15 years.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThese priorities include financial stability and self-sufficiency, contributing to the low carbon economy, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.pbctoday.co.uk\/news\/planning-construction-news\/social-value-architecture\/66645\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">social value<\/a>, and a more cohesive approach to creating successful places and stronger more vibrant communities.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>McGirk added: \u201cMaintaining and developing strong relationships with our supply chain is fundamental to our continued success and we are looking for a Tier 1 construction partner that is committed to partnership working and delivering real benefits to our clients, the communities we serve, to local small and medium-sized business and to support and strengthen the workforce across the South East Territory.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI\u2019d encourage those companies with the experience, skills and values aligned to ours, to visit the Public Contracts Scotland website to find out
