Robertson is looking for local subcontractors to help build the new £29m Harris Academy in Dundee.

The school is being delivered as part of a £500m investment programme covering construction projects throughout Tayside, Fife and Forth Valley, via the hub East Central Scotland Company.

On Thursday, Robertson will hold a 'Meet the Buyer' event to give local subcontractors the chance to join the supply chain and win some of the work packages available during the three-year project.

Malcom MacLeod, hub director for Robertson said: "Our Meet the Buyer event is a chance for local subcontractors and tradespeople to meet the project team and find out how they might get involved in the construction of the new Harris Academy, which will provide a sustainable, state-of-the-art school for local pupils."

Interested parties need to register their interest prior to the event, via Robertson.

The proposed state-of-the-art school will deliver a variety of teaching, social and community facilities on site, in Dundee's West Conservation Area. The new 15,000 square metre building will replace the existing build on the site.

Demolition of the existing building is scheduled to begin in the autumn, with construction being completed by June 2016.
