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 firms, matched to the services of our members, which range from architects and AI software developers to sustainability consultants and workplace designers. 

We publish our tenders list below a week in arrears. Members receives the weekly list as part of Company Membership which is the equivalent of £7.60 a week.

* The new Procurement Act went live just over 100 days ago, with a pledge to increase the share of public sector spending with smaller businesses. The government has just announced a consultation on further reforms to public procurement, inviting feedback on planned changes designed to ensure SMEs win a greater share of work from across the public sector.

We have also decided to extend our survey on SMEs attitudes and experiences to a new deadline of Friday September 5th:  Urbano Procurement Survey Page

How we can help

As directors of Talent Lab and Urbano, we understand SMEs and can create or improve programmes to help smaller companies to win work. We can also help deliver on targets such as sustainability, ED&I, innovation, local employment, anti-slavery, compliance, and regulation.

Please check our our Capability Statement on how we help organisations, large companies and SMEs with bids and tenders: Procurement and SMEs
