An engaging roundtable held by Minority Business Matter this week, kindly hosted by CBRE. The event explored how expiration of Private Finance Initiative (PFI) contacts can be used as a mechanism for more diverse procurement. It also provided insights from ethnic minority businesses (EMBs) on the successes, challenges and barriers to entry experienced when accessing opportunities around facilities management. The roundtable offered a fantastic opportunity to discuss how the public sector can support supplier diversity programmes, including support for small and medium-sized enterprises, EMBS and not-for-profits, and continue to promote inclusive growth within London's business community. We’d like to say a big thank you to all of those who attended, including Shirin G. Procurement Specialist at London Borough of Merton; Robert Selwyn, Asset Manager at Transport for London; Saritha Visvalingam, Responsible Procurement Manager at Greater London Authority, and Israel Aguirre, Social Value Officer at Royal Borough of Greenwich. We also want to thank Courtney Chambers; C4 Cleaning, Azeem Khan 🔑 Commercial and Contract Cleaning, Gemini Group, and Mo Hanslod, Bri-Tek Technologies Ltd, for their insightful presentations. Minority Business Matters is a partnership between Heart of the City and MSDUK and is funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. 🚀 Find out more about how Minority Business Matters can support your business: https://lnkd.in/euX_qsER 📝 Register for the Creative and Cultural Industries Freelancer Directory here: https://lnkd.in/d7VCS24v #UKSPF
