NMBN Members Gain Valuable Insights into Manchester City Council Procurement Opportunities

The North Manchester Business Network (NMBN) recently welcomed members to another informative networking session focused on understanding and accessing procurement opportunities with Manchester City Council (MCC).

The meeting provided local businesses with valuable guidance on how to navigate the public sector procurement process and increase their understanding of the opportunities available through Manchester City Council's supply chain.

A special thank you goes to the speakers from Manchester City Council's Procurement and Commissioning Team for delivering an engaging and informative presentation. Their expertise helped demystify the tendering process and provided practical advice on how businesses can position themselves to successfully bid for contracts.

During the session, attendees learned more about the Council's procurement priorities, commissioning approach and the support available to organisations looking to work with the local authority. The discussion also highlighted the importance of social value, demonstrating how businesses can contribute to wider economic, social and environmental outcomes whilst delivering services and contracts.

Members were given the opportunity to ask questions, share experiences and gain a better understanding of the steps involved in securing public sector contracts. The session generated valuable discussion and provided attendees with greater confidence in exploring future opportunities with Manchester City Council.

At NMBN, we are committed to connecting businesses with the knowledge, opportunities and networks they need to grow and thrive. This event is a great example of how collaboration between local partners can support business development and strengthen the North Manchester economy.

Thank you once again to Manchester City Council's Procurement and Commissioning Team for sharing their knowledge and expertise with our members. We look forward to continuing to provide opportunities for local businesses to access valuable insights and support through future NMBN events.
