South Lanarkshire Council & Social Enterprises: A Conversation about Public Sector Contracts

South Lanarkshire Council wants to talk with social enterprises about public sector contracts! Join the Supplier Development Programme for an informal opportunity to ask your questions about how your supported business, third sector organisation, charity or social enterprise can do business with the Council.  

These events are aimed at social enterprises based within South Lanarkshire. 

Free to attend, your organisation will learn more about the public sector, dispel common myths about public sector procurement, and access expert support from SDP to help you bid better in the future.
