Supply Chain Accessibility

Supply chain accessibility within the government model balanced scorecard refers to mechanisms put in place to increase accessibility to contract opportunities for a wide range of suppliers, particularly SMEs.

For the London Olympics in 2012, the Olympic Delivery Authority set up an online platform, CompeteFor, supported by a Buyer Engagement Team (BET Group). Several Learning Legacy Papers emanated from the experience and subsequently Crossrail Ltd has also used CompeteFor in its procurement strategy.

Supply chain accessibility primarily signposts contractors rather than construction product manufacturers.
