## Summary

Scottish Borders Council is currently in the planning stage for the "Meet the Buyer National June 2025" event. This procurement process is aimed at organising the 16th Annual Meet the Buyer National, scheduled to take place on 4th June 2025 at Murrayfield Stadium, Edinburgh. The event, which is a prominent fixture in Scotland's procurement calendar, falls under the category of general public services and is a significant opportunity for engagement between buyers and suppliers within the Scottish public sector. The council acts as the main buying organisation, and this tender process represents an opportunity for potential businesses to join the supply chain responsible for fulfilling an annual public sector demand worth £16 billion in goods, works, and services across Scotland.

By attending, businesses can meet with procurement teams, buyers, and other key players in the industry to discuss potential projects and tender opportunities on both a local and national scale. While the event caters largely to SMEs, it is open to businesses of all sizes and sectors, making it an excellent platform for those looking to enhance their visibility and prepare for upcoming contract opportunities within the public sector. Interested parties should consider registering for this free event to maximize their business development potential.
