Meet The Buyer 2025

The "Meet The Buyer" event for this year will be taking place on the 22nd April 2025. This will be an in-person event at the Banquet Hall, City Chambers. The Corporate Procurement Unit of Glasgow City Council will be in attendance with a stand at this event, with some of our procurement staff available to speak to.

This is an excellent opportunity for suppliers to engage with Glasgow City Council in an informal setting to find out about up and coming tendering opportunities and processes involved in submitting tenders, to discuss the the criteria for buying good and services.
