Earlier this year, government made available details of the £125m supply chain fund aimed at improving the size, quality and global competitiveness of the UK’s advanced manufacturing supply chain sector.
The fund is aimed at supply chain companies operating in England and can be used for capital expenditure, skills and training and R&D projects. Due to the minimum project threshold value of £2m, it is envisaged that many bids will need to be from several companies clustering together to form one bid.
SMMT Industry Forum has developed an approach to support the clustering of potential bids and are working closely with supply chain companies to develop their bids.
On 4 April, SMMT hosted a webinar with Geoff Dale, Director of Industry Forum. Geoff discussed how SMMT Industry Forum is working with supply chain companies to cluster and submit viable bids.
