Upcoming supply chain programme offers business opportunities to meet large local buyers
An upcoming Get Ready 2 Supply programme is offering eligible businesses the opportunity to meet large local buyers with live procurement opportunities.
Taking place on Thursday, 27 March, the event will offer local suppliers one to one meetings with members of procurement teams from Birmingham and Solihull’s Integrated Care System (ICS) to discuss live opportunities in areas including the LivingWell Consortium.
Get Ready 2 Supply seeks to enable firms in East Birmingham and North Solihull to access contract opportunities with some of the region’s largest institutions.
The programme is funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and delivered by the Greater Birmingham Chambers of Commerce (GBCC) and Newable.
The programme also offers eligible firms in all sectors in East Birmingham and North Solihull:
- One to one support from experienced advisers, including support to identify relevant contract opportunities for your business
- Networking sessions to discuss opportunities and pitch to key buyers
- In-depth workshops to expand your skills and knowledge
Emily Stubbs (pictured), GBCC head of policy, said: “Supporting businesses in East Birmingham and North Solihull to access new markets is critical to driving inclusive economic growth in Greater Birmingham.
“This upcoming ‘Meet the Buyer,’ event offers eligible local firms the opportunity to directly meet with those at large anchor institutions looking to procure the services they offer and hopefully win new contracts.
“For those in other sectors, our expert advisors can also help to identify new supply-chain opportunities.”
Once registered for the programme, expert advisors will review eligibility for the ‘Meet the Buyer’ event.
