The Heathrow SME Academy is a new programme designed to help small and medium-sized businesses develop the skills and confidence needed to work with large purchasing organisations, like Heathrow. It offers a mix of in-person and virtual workshops, as well as 1-2-1 mentor support opportunities. The programme is free to participate in.
In this full-day, in-person workshop, you will gain practical knowledge and skills on areas linked to our minimum procurement requirements, such as:
There will also be one module on bidding strategies delivered by our partner Branduin.
In addition, after attending the workshop, you will have the opportunity to apply for 1-2-1 mentorship. All of our volunteering mentors are senior experts from our supply chain.

This is your chance to get ahead, grow your business, and engage with one of the UK’s largest infrastructure hubs.
The Heathrow Business Summit returns on Wednesday 25 November 2026 at the Allianz Stadium, Twickenham.
This year's theme, Connecting People and Planet, will explore how sustainable procurement and responsible supply chains can drive positive outcomes for businesses, communities and the environment. The event offers a valuable opportunity to connect with Heathrow and its supply chain partners, build new relationships, learn about future opportunities, and gain insight into Heathrow's sustainability and procurement ambitions.
Catch up on our past events and milestones on CompeteFor, including examples like the implementation of the Heathrow Net Zero Plan and Heathrow Business Summit successes.
