Supply Cross River is a new initiative led by the Cross River Partnership with funds from London European Regional Development Fund programme. It aims to open up supply chain and procurement opportunities to small and medium sized businesses across the Cross River region (London Boroughs of Lambeth, Southwark, Westminster and the City of London) and promote supplier diversity and sustainable procurement to buyers.

Supply Cross River is designed to help all businesses, encouraging major local organisations to increase diversity in their supply chain, and helping smaller enterprises to bid for and win new contracts. The scheme aims to help businesses in the short-term to get through the economic downturn, as well as on an ongoing basis to bring about lasting benefits for the local economy.

The following support is available to small and medium sized businesses:

• Supplier development workshops
• Capacity building days
• Meet the Buyers
• 1:1 Support

All events and advisory services are free of charge to qualifying businesses. Find out more by visiting www.supplycrossriver.co.uk.
