Supply Bromley Programme
The Supply Bromley programme is designed to help small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), with a focus on under-represented businesses, become ready to supply to local or national buyers and anchor institutions.
The programme, delivered by Newable, aims to help SMEs gain new skills or knowledge in order to open up supply chain or procurement opportunities with new buyers, and access new markets. It also helps them understand public sector procurement through bespoke advice from expert business advisers, alongside the opportunity to meet new potential buyers at exclusive 'Meet the Buyer' events.
