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. 

Members receive the opportunities list as part of Company Membership (our most popular option) and are able to request tenders relevant to their specific services..

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
