Who’s it for?
The portal is for any Essex-based or regional business that plays a part in the construction or retrofit supply chain. This includes SMEs, micro businesses, trades, engineers, green‑tech specialists and social enterprises.
What is it?
An online space where major contractors and public sector buyers share current opportunities, and where local suppliers can showcase what they do. By creating a profile, businesses can increase their visibility, highlight their expertise and strengthen their readiness for future procurement and partnership activity.
What’s required?
Getting started is straightforward. You’ll create an account, share the essentials about your business and outline the services you provide. You can add details such as accreditations or policies as you go, and update your profile whenever you need to. The clearer your information, the easier it is for buyers to understand your capabilities.
How does it work?
Once registered, you can build your profile and explore the live opportunities posted by contractors and public sector teams. When you find a project that fits, you can follow the guidance to express interest or connect with the buyer. By keeping your profile up to date and checking in regularly, you stay visible and ready for new work as it comes through.

“The Innovation Grant Mentoring Programme didn’t just help us write a stronger grant application, it changed how we tell KIGO’s story. That is the kind of support every early-stage founder needs and almost none can find.”
