About this Event
How do you stand out, win more contracts, and prove real social value in an increasingly competitive bidding landscape?
Join us at Edinburgh Remakery for our monthly Business Breakfast, where businesses and organisations come together for meaningful conversations, fresh ideas, and practical insights, all over coffee and pastries in a relaxed, welcoming space.
Spotlight Session
We are delighted to welcome Andrew Morrison, the bid and proposal profession’s Global Thought Leader, serial entrepreneur, and Co-Founder of Aspire Bidding.
Recognised internationally for his expertise in procurement strategy and AI-enabled tendering, Andrew has helped organisations across the UK win major public and private sector contracts through sharper positioning, stronger social value storytelling, and more competitive bid responses.
In this session, Bidding Insights – Social Value/Community Benefits, and AI in Bidding, Andrew will share:
• How to strengthen your bids through meaningful social value and community benefit commitments
• Practical ways AI is reshaping bidding and tender responses
• Real-world insights into what helps organisations stand out and win
• Actionable strategies businesses can apply immediately
Whether you are bidding for contracts now, planning future growth, or simply curious about where AI is taking procurement, this session will offer grounded, practical advice you can put into action.
What to Expect
1) Networking & Connections
Meet like-minded businesses, explore collaborations, and build meaningful relationships in an informal setting.
2) SIXTY SECONDS | OVER TO YOU!
Take the stage for 60 seconds to introduce yourself and your business, a brilliant way to connect, share ideas, and spark opportunities.
3) BUSINESS BANTER
After the spotlight session, grab another coffee and continue the conversations, because great connections don’t happen in a rush.
4) TECH DONATIONS
Have unused or old personal tech? Bring it along and drop it into our Tech Donation Box. We will refurbish what we can, support people facing digital exclusion, and responsibly recycle the rest.
Every Pound Makes a Difference
This is not just networking. Every ticket helps us continue our mission to reduce waste and tackle digital exclusion. From gifting refurbished devices to those in need to running free repair cafés, your support creates real, lasting impact.
Don’t miss this practical and future-focused session.
Book your place now and join us on 25 June, 9:00–10:30am.
