If you are looking to grow your business in the Tayside region, then don’t miss Meet the Buyer Tayside 2026, a free networking event coming to Dundee’s Michelin Scotland Innovation Parc, Innovation Hub, on 3 March (10am–2pm).

This free-to-attend event is being hosted by Dundee City Council, in partnership with Angus Council, Perth and Kinross Council and the Supplier Development Programme.

Meet the Buyer Tayside sees buyers and main contractors exhibit, to discuss contract opportunities with suppliers, like you, who visit their stands.

Exhibitors are set to include Dundee City Council, Angus Council, Fife Council, Perth and Kinross Council, Procurement for Housing (PfH), Scottish Procurement Alliance (SPA) and the Supplier Development Programme. More names will soon be announced.

As well as buyers, the event will connect you with business support bodies who can advise on training and funding available to grow your organisation.

Whether you want business support, tips on tendering, contract leads or the chance to increase your brand awareness, Meet the Buyer Tayside is a must visit.

Gillian Cameron, SDP Programme Manager said: “We’re really looking forward to this year’s Meet the Buyer Tayside. Last year the event had the highest number of local attendees of all SDP’s Meet the Buyer events, with over 50% of visitors based in Dundee, Angus, or Perth and Kinross.

“Each year, feedback from the event has shown that its attendees enjoy discussing how they might work with the councils and other buyers (both from the public and private sector) who are there.

“If you are a business or Third Sector Organisation, then don’t miss your chance to attend Meet the Buyer Tayside 2026 and discover how you can grow by bidding for local contracts.”

All suppliers are welcome, please register your place in advance via the SDP website.
