Scotland is open for business. Join us for Scotland’s largest Meet the Buyer event!

On 17 May 2023, buyers and suppliers from across Scotland will come together for Meet the Buyer at Edinburgh International Conference Centre.

Whatever the size of your business, you will meet procurement teams, buyers and supply chains to learn about upcoming projects and tender opportunities locally, nationally within Scotland and right across the UK.

Members of the Public Procurement Group (PPG) will be attending and exhibiting at the event. This provides opportunities for suppliers to ‘meet the buyers’ from the procurement Centres of Expertise in Scotland including Scottish Government, APUC, Scotland Excel and NHS. Registration is free via the Supplier Development Programme (SDP) website.
