Meet the Buyer North Set to Return for a Seventh Year!

The Supplier Development Programme will hold the seventh annual Meet the Buyer North event on Wednesday 11 September at The Music Halls in Aberdeen. This free event will provide suppliers an opportunity to learn about upcoming contracts and opportunities in the North of Scotland.  

Partnered by the Scottish Government, Scotland Excel and the Commercial and Procurement Shared Services, this event will allow businesses based in Moray, Aberdeenshire, Aberdeen City, Highland, Orkney Islands, Western Isles, and Shetland Islands Council areas to connect with public sector buyers in these areas.  

Attendees will also have a chance to network with other public sector exhibitors including Crown Commercial Service, Historic Environment Scotland, and Scottish Enterprise, and more.  

Several private sector organisations will also be exhibiting on the day, including Aberdeen Airport, Bam Nuttall, Clark Contracts, hub North Scotland, and Vattenfall, to discuss upcoming projects and supply chain opportunities in the North of Scotland.  

On the day, suppliers will have the opportunity to listen to presentations from the Supplier Development Programme, Scottish Government, the Commercial and Procurement Shared Services, and more, on a wide range of procurement topics. 

Gillian Cameron, Programme Manager, Supplier Development Programme, said: 

“Now in its 7th Year, Meet the Buyer North is an unmissable opportunity for businesses of all sizes to meet buyers and decision makers from across the public and private sectors. 

“Following the success of last year’s event in Aberdeen, which attracted 380 attendees, we are excited to return to The Music Hall once again.  

“The Supplier Development Programme is also delighted to be hosting this event in partnership with the Commercial and Procurement Shared Services representing Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire and Highland Councils, as well as Scottish Government, and Scotland Excel, to help local businesses find, win and keep public sector contracts.” 

Businesses of all sizes are welcome to attend Meet the Buyer North.
