Urbano Network Tenders Opportunities & Upcoming Events

Urbano has been helping SMEs across all sectors to connect, share, learn, and develop new business opportunities since we created our first connected business community in Shoreditch in the early 2000's.

Each week we search, sift and distribute a weekly list of tenders suitable for SMEs, from freelancers to large contractors, matched to the services of our members, which range from architects and AI software developers to sustainability consultants and workplace designers. 

See this week's and all recent lists below.

SME Procurement Survey
The Procurement Act went live just over 100 days ago, with a pledge to increase the share of public sector spending with SMEs. We want to examine the reality for small UK companies in attempting to win work from the public sector and share the results with those who create tenders and frameworks. 

We ask ALL small businesses, including those which have never tendered, to complete our short survey on their experiences and perceptions of SMEs and public sector procurement.
