Meet the Buyer South 2025

The procurement process is currently at the planning stage for the "Meet the Buyer South 2025" event, orchestrated by Scottish Borders Council in partnership with other regional authorities. Set to take place at The Tait Hall in Kelso on 8 October 2025, this event falls under the industry category of general public services. It presents an opportunity for businesses in the South East of Scotland to engage with both public and private sector buyers, facilitating new connections and potential collaborations.

As a planned initiative, this event aims to bolster regional economic development through the Supplier Development Programme, allowing attendees to meet procurement teams and supply chain partners. Interested parties are advised to register promptly to secure their spot since places are limited. This tender represents a significant opportunity for businesses looking to grow their operations within the South East of Scotland, particularly those specialising in sectors classified under the CPV codes, including goods, services, and construction.

Enterprises involved in procurement and supply chain management, particularly regional or local agencies, will find this event particularly beneficial. By attending, businesses can gain insights into upcoming projects and procurement needs directly from the buyers and thus tailor their offerings accordingly. This interaction not only aids in forming strategic partnerships but also fortifies business credibility by understanding market demands and expectations.
