Ready to Supply the City (RTSTC), financed by the City of London Corporation and delivered by East London Business Place (ELBP) and South London Procurement Network (SLPN), offers small, micro and medium-sized enterprises (SMMEs) support to compete for contracts with City-based businesses and their supply chains.
This new phase of Ready to Supply the City, to run from April 2014 to March 2016, will build on the successes of the previous two phases. ELBP and SLNP have a track record of success in helping local businesses increase their competitive edge and gain access to contract opportunities. Since 2008 they have helped local companies secure over £160,000,000 of business. ELBP and SLPN were modelled on Canary Wharf Group’s Local Business Liaison Office, which had previously helped local companies to secure over £615 million of business.
HOW IT WORKS
SMME participation in supply chains helps create jobs and reinforces the benefit of regenaration. RTSTC offers a free programme of business development support for small, micro and medium enterprises (SMME) based in the City’s neighbouring boroughs: Tower Hamlets, Hackney, Lambeth, Southwark, Islington, Camden, Westminster and The City.
The programme promotes awareness of tender opportunities and helps local businesses gain the expertise and confidence to launch successful bids.
