e-Business Builder

The e-Business Builder is a free web based initiative developed by us for the business community to encourage and maximise working relationships between large contractors and suppliers and local small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs).

An unfortunate national trend is emerging where local authorities award large contracts to single or a few large providers, displacing many smaller organisations previously employed by the council in question.

The e-Business Builder has been created to counteract this trend and encourage large providers to advertise their subcontract opportunities and requirements in order to give local SMEs the chance to join the supply chain. In return, large providers are given the opportunity to advertise in a cost effective manner to a wide range of skilled suppliers and service providers.

Benefits of registering on the e-Business Builder are:

• an opportunity to advertise supply requirements free of charge to a wide audience
• easy access directory of businesses offering skills and expertise
• a single point  to review business opportunities in the local area
• an opportunity to discuss business issues with other users via a number of notice board forums

You can find the e-Business Builder by using the link to the right.

For further information about the e-Business Builder you can download a brochure using the link below.

The first e-Business Builder email newsletter was published in November 2006.  You can access the newsletter by clicking the link below.
