Join Procurement for our Meet the Buyer Event!

State of Michigan Procurement is inviting Michigan-based businesses to participate in our upcoming Meet the Buyer event this fall. This event focuses on vendors who do not currently hold a State of Michigan contract. We encourage you to register if you are new to the state's purchasing process and are looking to explore contracting with government. We're hoping to connect with Michigan's vibrant community. Join us and learn how the state does business with vendors directly from purchasing professionals.

How Does Meet the Buyer Work?

Our Meet the Buyer will provide an up-tempo, innovative way for you to learn how the State contracts for the goods or services you sell, discover upcoming solicitation opportunities, and understand our procurement process.

  • Ten-minute 1:1 meetings, in a conference room setting.
  • Central Procurement Services and partner agencies will have buyers present, representing their department and business areas.
  • Each represented agency will take meetings with up to two suppliers at a time, based on capabilities.
  • Suppliers will be matched with buying agencies based on the capabilities and keywords submitted via the supplier interest form.
  • Snacks and beverages provided throughout the event.
