Prior to the event, there were 659 suppliers registered. On the day, 391 participants attended the event, made up of 317 supplier attendees and 74 exhibitors/speakers/public sector colleagues. After attending the Ayrshire Virtual Meet the Buyer Event in partnership with the Supplier Development Programme, 91% of Scottish SME and supported businesses said they were more likely to bid for public sector contracts as a direct result of participating in the event.
