Sandwell Council, in partnership with the Sandwell and West Birmingham NHS, is proud to present this 'meet the buyer' event - a unique opportunity for you to connect with industry decision-makers, find tenders, meet buyers, and network!

Join us on Wednesday 19 March at West Bromwich Albion Football Club to meet with key buyers and explore new business opportunities.

It's a great chance to grow your network and showcase your offerings.

You can hear presentations on:

• Upcoming opportunities such as the Learning Campus in Smethwick and other major projects

• Where to find business opportunities and how to register for them

• Community wealth building, social value and sustainability, and their benefits to your business.

• ‘Making Social Value less scary and relevant to you’ and tender writing tips

After the presentations, you'll have the opportunity to network over lunch with other businesspeople.

We'll finish with the chance to talk to procurement representatives from the NHS, local authorities, housing associations and more.

You can also meet exhibitors to talk about:

• Recruitment and training with the Think Sandwell Employment and Skills Team

• Business opportunities from Find It In The Black Country

• Digital inclusion

• Inclusion and 'giving back' with Care Leaver Covenant

• Shaping the workforce of the future

• Green Agenda and Net Zero support

In the afternoon you will have the opportunity to talk to the buyers and procurement teams - unfortunately due to the high number of delegates and buyers we cannot allocate individual timeslots to delegates but we will be ensuring a smooth flow throughout the afternoon.
