Did you know that we are celebrating 5 years of the Centre of Excellence? Take a look at the collaboration, innovation and successes that we have enjoyed so far. We can't wait to see where the next 5 years takes us 🎉

Five Years of SBRI Centre of Excellence We are excited to share with you the "Five Years of SBRI Brochure." which encapsulates the highlights, achievements, and the remarkable progress we have made over the past half-decade.

Challenge-led procurement is an approach to sourcing goods and services that involves defining a specific problem or challenge and inviting potential suppliers or partners to propose innovative solutions - in an efficient, cost-effective, and sustainable manner.

This approach is particularly relevant in sectors that require innovative solutions, such as healthcare, technology, and the environment, and it is seen as a way to tap into external expertise, foster creativity, and address complex problems more effectively.

Our challenge-led approach to procurement has allowed us to help many large and public sector organisations innovate and make an impact.💫
