On Tuesday, 10th September, an insightful procurement session was held at the Quays Hotel by Glen Sawby, Head of Procurement at Sheffield City Council, and the Sheffield Diverse Business Advisory Board.

Supported by Business Sheffield, the Sheffield Chamber of Commerce, and led by the Council’s Commercial Services Team, the event provided a fantastic opportunity for local and diverse businesses to learn about the Council’s procurement processes and improve their chances of securing contracts.

Attendees benefited from a Q&A session, engaging directly with experts, while the Sheffield Diverse Business Advisory Board emphasised its mission to ensure equal opportunities for all businesses.

With a strong attendance of 80 businesses, this successful event marks the first of many aligned with the Council’s ambition to increase procurement opportunities for local businesses.
