UK SBS Procurement is an integral part of the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills and supports our partner organisations in their work on life changing projects ranging from Dementia Research, Antarctic Research and UK Space programmes to the award winning UK Pavilion (the Hive) at the 2015 Milan Expo.
