The City of Edinburgh Council: Supplier Engagement Event

The City of Edinburgh Council, in partnership with The Supplier Development Programme (SDP), is inviting local SMEs and third sector organisations to its Supplier Engagement Event, on 14 November (9.00am-11.30am) at Waverley Court in Edinburgh.

This event aims to help local micro, small and supported businesses, as well as third sector organisations, become ‘tender ready’ by providing an opportunity to meet representatives from the Council, as well as a number of business support organisations.

With networking opportunities, procurement training sessions, and key contact referrals, this event has something for everyone.

During the morning, experts will help to demystify public procurement and provide suppliers, who have little or no experience in bidding for public sector contracts, with an opportunity to learn the routes to market and business support available to them.

Exhibitors are set to include

• The City of Edinburgh Council – Community Wealth Building, Community Benefits and Innovation Teams
• The City of Edinburgh Council Procurement Delivery Team
• The Supplier Development Programme
• Business Gateway
• Capital City Partnership and Edinburgh South East City Region Deal (ESEC)
• Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce

Keynote Sessions are set to include

• SDP: Top Tips for Tendering
• City of Edinburgh Council: How we Buy and What Influences our Approach

You’ll only know if you go...

All suppliers are eligible to attend for free. However, spaces are limited and you must register an account with SDP in order to book a place.
