Business Event: MSDUK
This MSDUK Cohort 6 procurement readiness programme is for SMEs owners from underrepresented backgrounds with an ambition to grow their capabilities and better understand corporate supply chains. Over four weeks (4, 11 & 18 November 2026, and 4 December 2026), business owners will engage in 16 hours of immersive learning (actual times for each date TBC), gaining insights into corporate supply chains.
The hybrid programme combines the best of both worlds - two face-to-face training days and two virtual learning sessions, ensuring accessibility and flexibility for participants.
Gain an understanding and apply key elements of a capability statement for engaging corporate buyers.
By the end of this programme you will be confidently able to pitch your business to the corporate buyers and stakeholders while having developed a peer mentoring network with other businesses on the programme. Spaces are limited and subject to your business meeting the programme requirements.
