Urbano Network Tenders Opportunities & Upcoming Events

Urbano has been connecting founders, directors and other business professionals from SMEs across all sectors to engage, learn, share, and develop mutual opportunities since our beginnings in Shoreditch in the early 2000's. 

The experienced Urbano team acts as eyes and ears for the different members of its community, distributing information and making introductions where we see potential value. Our events are designed to be catalysts to connections as we have learned that most opportunities in business come attached to people.

Urbano has a proud record of helping our members develop and grow, including supporting them to find opportunities on the supply chains of larger companies and the public sector. To find current tenders relevant to your own services can be found below or by using 'CTRL + F + keyword' here: Tenders @ Urbano

Urbano is owned and run by Talent Lab, a work winning consultancy, with over 20 years experience of helping different clients from PLCs to SMEs develop new business opportunities, including helping companies with tendering and bidding. Find out more here: Talent Lab

Talent Lab recently brought together three experienced bid professionals -  Caroline Brock, Director of Talent Lab, Mike Raynor, and Samantha Burns, Head of Bid Management and Direction at EiB, for a discussion on how companies working on major and mega bids can improve the process of tendering and help create winning submissions.

View the discussion on video here or listen as a podcast here: Talent Lab Expert Panel -  Tendering for Mega & Major Bids

Talent Lab was also commissioned by the Innovation Driven Procurement Programme to write a Guide To Procurement for SMEs for small companies which would like to know more about winning places on frameworks, tenders and supply chains. Download the guide here: Guide To Procurement for SMEs
