In today's rapidly changing market, many large companies are waking up to the benefits of diversifying their supply chains. By including suppliers that have different skill sets and expertise, they can increase agility, adaptability and improve their economic and social impact.


The Inclusive Supply Chain Programme is working with London South Bank University to improve access to London's Supply Chains. The programme supports local under-represented SME's to become supply chain ready by building their internal capabilities to meet the procurement criteria of larger businesses.


Working with local, regional and national buyers who want to add value to their supply chain, we open up opportunities for smaller businesses to access large buyers and introduce them to new contract opportunities.
