The Supplier Development Programme (SDP) has published an online report on Meet the Buyer South, which took place on 29 October 2024, at The Volunteer Hall in Galashiels.  

Meet the Buyer South 2024 was run by SDP, alongside partners Scottish Borders Council. This free event gave suppliers in the South of Scotland access to buyers and decision makers from across the public and private sector, helping suppliers raise their profile, and prepare for upcoming contract opportunities.
