YORhub Partners with The Supply Chain Network to Increase Visibility of Framework Opportunities

The Supply Chain Network (TSCN) is pleased to have partnered with YORhub to host the YORhub Supply Chain Engagement Programme on its digital opportunities platform.

TSCN is a sector wide digital tool that helps businesses connect with suppliers and hosts over 1600 businesses. The platform supports local and regional supply chains by highlighting relevant tender and contract opportunities and advertising more than £247,000,000 worth of opportunities over 2025-26 with 15% of that work being won by TSCN suppliers. The partnership with YORhub is expected to generate approximately £1 million in additional opportunities for businesses registered on the site.

YORhub is a public sector procurement organisation working with businesses across Yorkshire and the Humber. Through its YORbuild, YORcivils and YORconsult frameworks, YORhub delivers construction, civil engineering and consultancy procurement solutions while supporting local economic growth, skills development and social value outcomes.

As part of the partnership, YORhub will use the Opportunities Map area of the site to support their main contractors working on YORbuild and YORcivils framework projects. This will enable contractors to share subcontracting and supplier opportunities with businesses across Yorkshire and the Humber. The new partnership will give suppliers direct visibility of procurement opportunities arising from YORhub frameworks, helping to ensure local supply chains remain at the heart of projects delivered through the frameworks.

Phil Henderson YORhub, said:

“Supporting local businesses and creating opportunities within regional supply chains is a key priority for YORhub. By partnering with The Supply Chain Network, we are making it easier for suppliers and subcontractors to access framework opportunities, connect with our main contractors and demonstrate their capabilities. This partnership will help strengthen local economic growth and ensure that the benefits of our construction and civil engineering projects are shared across the businesses within the Yorkshire and Humber region.”
