Meet the Buyer Event – Tuesday 22 September 2026

26 September 2026

On Tuesday 22 September, Business Services Organisation (BSO) welcomed suppliers to a Meet the Buyer event in Craigavon.

This event was an opportunity for suppliers to learn more about working with Health and Social Care in Northern Ireland (HSCNI), the procurement pipeline and the importance of social value in all awarded contracts.

The day included a selection of presentations from colleagues across BSO and Digital Health and Care Northern Ireland (DHCNI) with suppliers’ availing of a networking opportunity in the afternoon to discuss future business opportunities with HSC.

The day was a great success, with valuable insight into working with HSC obtained.

Thank you to everyone who attended and to all BSO colleagues involved in the planning and organising the event.
