On Tuesday 28 March we held our Meet the Buyer event at the Adelaide Entertainment Centre.

The event was officially opened by the Hon. Stephen Mullighan MP, Treasurer, and attendees had the opportunity to hear from the Hon. Andrea Michaels MP, Minister for Small and Family Business.

With fundamental changes to the government's procurement rules and a commitment to increasing opportunities for local businesses to participate in government contracts, the event provided an excellent opportunity to engage with senior representatives and discuss their agency's purchasing requirements and future procurement plans.

This was our biggest and most successful Meet the Buyer event yet with over 500 attendees, representing over 300 South Australian businesses.  32 government agencies and 4 major contractors, Lendlease, Kelsian, Downer Group and Ventia, exhibiting and keen to learn about businesses skills and capacity.
