Heart of the City, in collaboration with MSDUK, is delighted to offer the Responsible Procurement Essentials programme, part of Minority Business Matters suite of learning and development programmes. This is a free dynamic support programme designed for Business to Business (B2B) and Business to Government (B2G) businesses at least 51% owned, managed and controlled by people from ethnic minority backgrounds and based in London looking to build the skills, knowledge, and networks needed to navigate procurement processes and position themselves as credible, contract-ready suppliers. The programme will provide practical, actionable support to help your business grow.
This hybrid programme blends in-person workshops with online mentoring to introduce participants to the fundamentals of public and private sector procurement, and running a responsible business. It will also support the development of essential transferrable skills such as pitching and bid writing. Participants will work on a tailored business growth plan, supported by peer-to-peer mentoring and expert-led surgery sessions with large corporate and public sector partners.
