Firms in the UK Urged to Make Supply Chain Easily Accessible to SMEs

The renowned business charity Business In The Community (BITC) wants SMEs to be provided with better opportunities to land key contracts by way of increased transparency. The charity is urging companies throughout the United Kingdom to make their supply chains more transparent so that smaller firms have a better chance of securing these agreements.

Head of operations at BITC, Matthew Lill said, "If you have a £25,000 contract, do you need to have £50 million of public liability insurance against it? Often that is not deliberate and has just been copied and pasted from another contract, but it immediately excludes SMEs."

In the United Kingdom, there have been various schemes for helping SMEs land supply chain management jobs with the introduction of the AMSCI (Advanced Manufacturing Supply Chain Initiative) fund which has been rolled out in the Liverpool as well as West Midlands. It is expected that the move will help boost parameters around the supply chains present within the aerospace and automotive sectors.

Bombadier Wins the TfL Contract Worth £88m

Transport for London (TfL) has recently hired Bombadier- the Derby based train maker for supplying new carriages for its network of passenger trains. The contract is worth £88 million and expires in the year 2015. It is expected that by that time Bombadier would provide about 57 new units for the London Overground system.

This investment of TfL may help boost business for Bombadier that has been struggling for quite some time. However, how will it affect the procurement, supply chain consulting or logistics jobs at Litchurch Lane’s production hub still remains unclear.

“London Overground has been a truly dazzling success and more and more Londoners are now using the vastly improved service. Not only will these new carriages help us meet passenger demand, but they will also support jobs and growth at their birthplace in Derby,” as per the mayor of London.

Royal Bank of Scotland Works Towards Ensuring Diverse Supply Chain's Success

According to the head of procurement at Royal Bank of Scotland (RBS) Jonathan Sutherland, a diverse supply chain can help drive success at RBS. He said the "strategic imperative" for the organisation is due to the fact that the bank has the most SME customers serving 32 per cent of the sector. This means that its fortunes are closely linked with the success of these companies and what he described as "growth makers."

RBS has been working towards mobilising these plans and for this it has established an executive steering group with representatives from across its organisation. The goal is to start a registration portal for firms where they can declare their interest and find out more informatio

“A healthy SME market is a healthy client base, which is a healthy RBS, so why would we not be [supporting SMEs through our supply chain]? There is a strategic imperative for us in this. For us it’s a case of strategy, not philanthropy,” as per Mr Sutherland.
