BPN

A Business Partner Network is the system of relationships, agreements, and information exchanges between an organization and its suppliers, teaming partners, and other business collaborators. BPN management supports supply chain effectiveness and partnership development.

In government contracting, BPN considerations include subcontractor relationships, teaming arrangements, and mentor-protégé partnerships. Strong BPN capabilities enable contractors to assemble competitive teams, access specialized capabilities, and meet small business subcontracting goals. BPN development is a strategic activity supporting capture and proposal success.
