This project was awarded funding in March 2019.
The project, led by Norfolk County Council, will take an innovative, new approach by empowering SMEs to realise the competitive advantages of operating in the East Coast’s world class energy cluster. It will support SMEs to capitalise on the opportunities being created in the onshore supply chain of the offshore wind industry by demystifying procurement and transforming ways of working, giving developers confidence in the capabilities of local companies and ensuring that this is reflected in contracting strategies.
Focused workshops and individual sessions will provide specialist advice and support in areas of documented need, creating and safeguarding jobs, developing local businesses, supporting learners and creating apprenticeships.
