Attending Marketplace Live

Main contractors from across the construction industry have attended Once For All’s Marketplace Live events across the UK, alongside trade associations and public sector authorities. Some names include:

Marketplace Live and Meet the Buyer are both networking events that connect main contractors with suppliers, but they differ in scope and purpose.

• Meet the Buyer is a widely used event format where main contractors meet their existing supply chain or new local partners near a project area.
• Marketplace Live is a construction networking event series that brings the power of our Marketplace product into a live setting. It provides a dedicated environment where main contractors can source and connect with new suppliers in the local area who match their specific supply chain requirements.

While the format of both events remains similar, Marketplace Live is directly integrated with the Constructionline Marketplace platform.

The key benefits of attending a Marketplace Live event include the opportunity to:

• Meet buyers face-to-face
• Discuss supply chain opportunities
• Learn about upcoming tenders
