Meet the Buyer South

On Wednesday, October 8th, Claire and Julie from the ESES Team attended 'Meet the Buyer South' at Tait Hall in Kelso.

You can learn more about the Supplier Development Programme here. If you’re a Scottish SME or third-sector organisation interested in working with the public sector, they can help. They offer expert training, support and information to help you win work and grow your business.

We were talking nonstop about Community Benefits and how we can help organisations deliver and receive them. This is all part of Community Wealth Building, and what underpins these conversations is a shared passion to make financial power work for local places, advance progressive procurement and progress socially productive use of land, property, and assets.

Meet the Buyer events provide us with an excellent opportunity to meet with both beneficiaries (people who can request support on our portal) and suppliers (people who can offer support to the beneficiaries). Whilst networking with other key stakeholders.
