“Find the suppliers already in the economy. Understand what is holding them back. Develop them around real opportunities.”
The four stages

What happens at each gate.

Suppliers move through in order. Some leave at verification, some are ready at assessment, and the rest are developed around real opportunities.

1. Map

Identify businesses already participating in public procurement and chart the supplier landscape.

  • Procurement and supplier landscape
  • Sector and region segmentation

2. Verify

Confirm who is who before any development spend is committed.

  • Business registration and compliance checks
  • Ownership and beneficiary checks

3. Assess

Understand what is holding each supplier back.

  • Capability and capacity profile
  • Funding and systems gaps

4. Develop

Build capability around real opportunities, not generic training.

  • Mentorship and systems
  • Procurement linkage and evidence
Pilot simulator

Watch a cohort move through.

Set the size of the cohort and your planning assumptions. The pipeline shows how many suppliers could reach each gate. These are assumptions you control, not predictions.
