Supply Cross River

Supply Cross River is a £2.1m project developed and led by the Cross River Partnership aiming to open up supply chain and procurement opportunities to small and medium-sized businesses (SMEs), in particular Black and Minority Ethnic businesses in the central London sub-region, and promote supplier diversity and sustainable procurement to buyers.
