Meet the Buyer
Making it easier for businesses to find and access contracting opportunities is vital to retaining value, boosting innovation and building resilience within local supply chains.
Meet the Buyer events are a fantastic way to provide suppliers with a unique opportunity to introduce themselves to major buyers and primary contractors from both the private and public sector to learn about new projects, contracts, frameworks and supply chain opportunities.
How it works
By hosting a Meet the Buyer event, you become a catalyst for bringing major contract opportunities to small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in your local area. The event ensures that the money spent on significant local projects remains within the local economy, supporting the growth of local businesses. Additionally, by fostering connections between local suppliers and major buyers, you help create and safeguard jobs within the community, contributing to local economic resilience and development.
