Maximising Your Business Potential
The public sector currently spends approximately £175 billion a year on procuring the goods and services needed to deliver public services. Within this £175 billion, £70 billion is spent on common goods and services − that is, a product or service which is purchased by more than one organisation.
Greater Manchester, incorporating the cities of Manchester and Salford and the metropolitan boroughs of Bolton, Bury, Oldham, Rochdale, Stockport, Tameside, Trafford and Wigan, is the economic engine of the North West, generating over 40% of its Gross Value Added (GVA), and is the largest sub-regional economy outside London and the South East.
The North West is a flourishing, growing region which has a vast array of opportunities for SMEs, so it is important to offer support and advice to any local SME struggling in the current climate. Organisations have been set up to advise, support and guide SMEs and promote opportunities currently available to them.
The Supply North West SME Procurement Conference has been developed to offer these organisations a platform to engage with SMEs. The speakers will offer advice and specialist support to help SMEs innovate and improve performance, reduce costs and improve productivity and efficiency.
This one-day conference will provide delegates with an invaluable insight into the opportunities that exist through selling to the public sector and will also offer advice on how best to access these opportunities.
