The Supplier Development Programme (SDP) will be on hand at All-Energy to advise businesses on how to compete for energy sector contracts, as it sponsors and exhibits at the event on 13 and 14 May at the SEC in Glasgow.

On day one, SDP Programme Manager Gillian Cameron will deliver a keynote in the Future Talent Theatre from 9.45–10.15am focused on finding and bidding for public-sector energy contracts. The session will also outline how SDP events help suppliers connect with buyers and identify subcontracting routes.

Later on day one, from 1.50–2.50pm, Gillian will join the Energy Supply Chain in Transition panel to discuss keeping supply chains local, the effects of uncertainty on regional economies, and how to build long-term supply chain resilience.

With more than 300 exhibitors, All-Energy provides extensive networking opportunities. SDP will be at stand S48 to highlight partner organisations with live and upcoming energy projects that suppliers can pursue.
