A supply chain is a network of companies and people involved in the delivery of a product or service. This spans from the raw materials to the finished product and will involve a number of procurement processes.
Operating in new supply chains can offer a huge growth opportunity to a wide range of businesses. As well as being a new alternative business development stream, it can significantly de-risk the profile of a business by diluting its reliance upon particular sectors and customers.
Often part of entering new supply chains means exploring avenues around procurement and responding to tenders. This can be a complicated area to navigate but in order to help businesses do this effectively – we have created an “Introduction to Tendering Programme”
Below you will find a wealth of information that can help you discover and bid effectively for new business opportunities. This toolkit aims to equip you with the necessary knowledge and resources to optimize your bidding processes and increase your chances of success.
