Supplier diversity is becoming a business necessity for both large organisations and SMEs. As a supplier, effectively managing the diversity of your own organisation can help you to win new contracts. American phone giant AT&T says the diversity of their supplier is 'often a tipping factor' in winning a bid.
Supplier diversity means ensuring that an organisation’s procurement processes provide equal opportunities for all suppliers to compete for contracts.
When tendering to public sector purchasers and large private sector purchasers, many increasingly see diversity management as a business imperative. Suppliers increasingly need to demonstrate their commitment to equality and diversity.
