Airport authorities have started the procurement process for expansion at Heathrow in earnest after the third runway idea was proposed on Wednesday last week.

After last week's backing from the influential Davies Commission, Heathrow has already entered the delivery phase of a third runway.

The pro-expansion verdict came in a final report published by the Davies Commission – the government will make the ultimate final decision by the end of 2015.

Heathrow CEO, John Holland-Kaye, told the Runways UK conference on Monday the debate on airport expansion has now ended and work has started on expansion with the airport creating a Procurement Forum made up of representatives from various sectors and from across different UK regions who will work with Heathrow over its expansion plan.

Holland-Kaye, said, "With expansion, we will create tens of thousands of skilled jobs while we build, as well as when we have built – skills that will leave a legacy of construction excellence in this country that can be sold all round the world. When we built Terminal 2, on time and on budget, we spread our supply chain to all parts of the UK, and we will do the same again, ensuring that all of Britain benefits from Heathrow expansion."
