The Movement for Innovation (M4I) claims the relationship between the supply chain and contractors has improved, with suppliers putting forward demonstration projects.
"You won't see segregated groups at these meetings anymore," said John Mead, M4I team leader for the London region. "It is an integrated family."
A total of 12 demonstration projects have been submitted to M4I by manufacturers and suppliers within the last year.
"This is hugely encouraging," said Mead. "There used to be a real stigma within the industry that the supply chain had to go through the route of the main contractor, but this isn't the case anymore.
"To move forward, the supply chain must enter into demonstration projects with no preconceived ideas. The current interest is great news, but as always, there is not enough around," he said.
