Imagine securing paid work with your local council in Greater Manchester without navigating the Chest for every contract? Welcome to the new world of public sector procurement in 2025!

Imagine if your business could procure paid work with your local council in Greater Manchester to deliver a contract, but without having to go through the pain of the Chest for each and every contract?

Imagine not having to answer hundreds of pointless questions, vying for the same contract against much, much larger businesses, and spending days and days of your valuable time completing needless paperwork (only to not get the job and then no feedback as to why?)!

Join us for this short, virtual session where you will learn about a new procurement project FSB has been working on in GM with STAR Procurement, which will help place public sector contracts valued between £25,000-£50,000 from Stockport, Trafford, Tameside and Rochdale councils with small businesses like yours.
