SME Procurement Exchange – meet Kent’s BIGGEST buy

About the Event

£millions are spent every year across Kent & Medway by public sector organisations and large institutions buying in services and equipment and yet only a small % reaches the businesses within the County. This initiative is the way to access those opportunities.

Buying categories will include construction, food & beverages, public services and much more…

The outline of the day will be;

- Practical workshops

- Panel discussions and presentations from key figures in procurement

- Meet the Buyer registration and appointments

- Guided online portal registration

- Free 1:1 advice and bid writing support
