Exemplars
Stakeholder Engagement to Support Growth
| Leeds Beckett are trailblazers for using procurement to support SMEs and enhance impact. They not only removed barriers but also provided help to SMEs. Their action research with the Joseph Rowntree Foundation, Leeds City Council and the Local Economic Partnership in Leeds engaged twelve ‘anchor organisations’ - those that make a significant contribution to the local economy through the large number of people they employ, the money they spend procuring goods and services, and their investment in real estate and their contribution to the strategic development of the region. The level of stakeholder engagement and proactive support for developing the SME supply chain demonstrated by Leeds Beckett is an exemplar of good practice and inspiration for other Universities and regions.
