How It Works
Delta Supply Chain opens up opportunities in major infrastructure projects and programmes. How? By simplifying large, single contracts into multiple tenders that can be bid for by a wider pool of suppliers.
It does this through a tier-based approach. Think of a major infrastructure project or programme that a buyer needs to deliver. In most cases, a small number of large organisations (prime or tier one contractors) will win these tenders, because they have the scale to take on such work.
However, they are unlikely to possess all of the capacity and capability to deliver the entire project, so need to engage with a wider supply chain to find other partners to support them. This is done by creating opportunities on the Delta Supply Chain platform.
Once a supplier is awarded a contract from a Tier One organisation, there is every chance that they will need partners to help with delivering it. Once again, Delta Supply Chain is used to promote that opportunity – resulting in another contract award or awards.
In this way, a Tier One contract can turn into multiple Tier Two, Tier Three and beyond sub-contracting opportunities.
Why take this approach?
There are several benefits. One is that opening up supply chains fosters competition, increasing innovative bids and improving value. However, since most of the projects and programmes on Delta Supply Chain are either publicly funded or for public good, the need for transparency and increased opportunity for a diverse range of businesses to participate is increased. Delta Supply Chain is unrivalled in unlocking opportunities and creating access to all.
