"The project is seeking construction delivery partners who can help support this one-off design and build project located in Glasgow.

ATP is also seeking to engage and collaborate with forward thinking, sustainable construction companies who can bring their experience, knowledge and supply chain to this project to help showcase sustainability in the built environment.

• Work alongside an organisation like ATP and its associated partners and sponsors with strong environmental and social drivers at its core.

• The opportunity to showcase your skills, innovation and supply chain achievements in the context of creating a sustainable built environment on the local and world stage.
