Westminster Supplier Readiness Programme

We are pleased to extend an invitation to you for the Supplier Readiness Programme Launch event hosted by Westminster City Council in collaboration with Westminster Business Council.  

The event will provide an overview of the programme, outline the support and opportunities we can offer to SMEs, and introduce the SME directory and portal.   The council is proud to be launching this programme which will include tailored guidance and support as well as expanded outreach and engagement with SMEs, with a particular focus on outreach to global majority-owned businesses, social enterprises, and under-represented business groups.  

During the event you will:  

• Meet the specialists dedicated to delivering the various aspects of the programme.

• Learn about the tools and guidance accessible to you. Receive information about upcoming workshops.

  For further information, please contact programme manager, Andrew Sota: a.sota@westminsterbc.org.uk  

  Notes:   The UK Shared Prosperity Fund has been launched as part of the UK government’s Levelling Up agenda, with the aim to invest in supporting local business.

  Westminster City Council has been awarded this funding, and through our Supplier Readiness Programme, we will be providing support and increase access to contract opportunities for SMEs, global majority-owned businesses, social enterprises and under-represented business groups.  

  Westminster City Council is proud to be launching this programme, in collaboration with Westminster Business Council on Tuesday 30th January 2024.

  Join us to gain more information on the programme, support on offer and tender opportunities for SMEs.   If your business needs support with bidding for contracts, please do come along. Help us to deliver on our plan to build a Fairer Westminster, by supporting SMEs to benefit from council opportunities that come from a Fairer Economy.
