as per the duplicate, `target="_blank"` is your friend. This attribute will cause the link to open in a new tab or window (as per the user's settings, which you cannot control). Surprised you didn't find this by searching online already — ADyson, Jul 03 '17 at 14:25
Yes, although being within a C# string you might need to escape the quote marks (or use single quotes in the HTML). — ADyson, Jul 03 '17 at 15:58

Replace the above line in your code with the line below and this should do the magic for you.

sb.Append("<td><a target=\"_blank\" href=\"" + baseMMPUrlConfigValue + "/profile/supplier/" + organisation.Id + "\">Profile Link</a></td>");
