Summary of the contracting process

Fife Council is leading a public procurement initiative titled "Meet The Buyer, Fife", targeting the services industry category. The event is at the planning stage and is scheduled for Thursday, 6th November 2025, from 9:00 AM to 12:30 PM. It will be held at the NEW Carnegie Conference and Events Centre, Dunfermline, located in the UKM72 region. This networking opportunity, organised in collaboration with the Supplier Development Programme, aims to connect local suppliers with various public and private sector buyers. The event is a part of the broader efforts by Fife Council, which functions as a central purchasing body, to facilitate business interaction and growth.

This planned procurement process presents a unique opportunity for businesses to discover upcoming contracts, supply chain, and sub-contracting opportunities in Fife. Companies in the services sector are particularly well-suited to benefit from this engagement. Participants will gain valuable insights into buyer requirements, learn about tendering support available locally, and have the chance to network with other businesses. The event will feature a 'Meet the Council' zone, allowing direct interaction with Fife Council's services and commissioning buyers. Interested suppliers are encouraged to register via the Supplier Development Programme Website and engage with the conversation online using #FifeMeetTheBuyer2025 and #Fifemeansbusiness. This initiative is a pivotal opportunity for businesses seeking to expand their footprint within the public sector marketplace.
