It’s simple…. Get posting your business opportunities, contracts and requirements on the portal. It has been designed to promote our world class supply chain in the county, but in order for it to grow, it is vital that we all make the local economy stronger by sourcing the products and services from local suppliers.
You can do this by searching for a supplier, posting an opportunity or attend one of many networking events, where local companies talk business on their doorstep. You can also spread the word about the good work we are doing and encourage friends and colleagues to register.
In return, we are talking to the decision-makers in major organisations across the county, to ensure that they boost business activity across the local economy by highlighting contracts to local businesses and giving them access to more and more work.
Our opportunities page lists dozens of private and public sector tenders, and supply chain opportunities are available via our supplier pages and ‘meet the buyer’ events. And what’s more, our new function Quick Quote can enable companies to post an opportunity to selected suppliers, digitalising the buying process and creating an audit and legal trail all in one place. It promotes the sourcing and procuring of materials and services from local suppliers which in turn filters down opportunities to the supply chain and supports the local economy. It’s quick, it’s simple… it’s Quick Quote!
