How Design and Build Firms Can Seize the Opportunity & Thrive in CP7
After recent close out of CP6 projects across the country, and new budgets put in place for Control-Period 7, now is the time to for design and build business’s to be ahead of the curve, utilise available talent pools and hire. With the majority of regional frameworks awarded and some projects in detailed design, design partners now need to take advantage of what feels like a quiet market, when in fact we can soon expect strong competition across Principal Designers and SME’s.

This is an industry where we face numerous setbacks, especially during a cost-sensitive period with concerns around ‘value for money’. Utilising specialist agencies during tendering/ bidding phases, and smart collaboration is how we stay on top of a challenging industry.
We at Matchtech feel that it is critical to partner with various design companies and rail businesses to ensure that full value add is being presented.
Partnering with the right recruitment delivery partner is crucial for rail construction companies because the industry demands specialised skills, safety compliance, and timely project delivery. A well-aligned recruitment partner ensures that the workforce is not only highly qualified but also understands the unique challenges of rail construction. This collaboration reduces the risk of project delays, enhances operational efficiency, and ensures that the right talent is on-site to meet both immediate and long-term project goals, ultimately driving the company's success in a competitive market.
