A Meet the Buyer Event!

If you are a business based in Norfolk a range of local buyers are looking for new suppliers. This is your opportunity to get in front of key public and private buyers to sell your products and services.

What is Open4Business?

Open4Business is a meet-the-buyer, one-day event, giving you the opportunity to meet face-to-face and one-on- one with some of the region’s biggest purchasers from the public and private sectors.

On the day suppliers can register for up to 6 appointments with each purchaser. If you register on this site full joining instructions will be sent to you via email prior to the event. During the appointments you can pitch your services to each business for a maximum of 10 minutes and also ask questions regarding the procurement procedure and tender deadlines.

The appointments are allocated on the day via a ticketing system to ensure fair opportunity to all for slots.

Colin Bottjer Category Manager Norfolk County Council said ‘This is the second time we are holding this event, after the first event was very successful and oversubscribed. The public sector are significant buyers and we would like to see an increase in the percentage of local suppliers with whom we do business with. Bringing together larger private and public sector buyers under one roof will provide a great opportunity for Norfolk businesses to gain more business.’

Caroline Williams, CEO of Norfolk Chamber of Commerce said ‘Bringing together larger private and public sector buyers under one roof provides a great opportunity for Norfolk businesses to gain more business. We encourage all business across Norfolk to take advantage of this opportunity’
