Meet the Category Teams
Recognising the vital role that suppliers and SMEs play in supporting the education sector in Northern Ireland, Procure4Education Northern Ireland is proud to introduce a dedicated Meet the Category Teams programme, designed to foster meaningful connections and open new opportunities for collaboration.
Education Buyer Hub
This hub will facilitate direct engagement with key education sector procurement teams from our partners Education Authority Northern Ireland and others. Registered suppliers will be able to schedule one-to-one appointments with senior buyers, offering valuable insights into current priorities, future procurement needs, and how to align with institutional goals.
The Meet the Category Teams feature is a unique opportunity to speak directly with influential decision-makers and position your organisation within Northern Ireland’s £850 million education procurement landscape.
Details on how to book your 1-2-1 appointments with participating organisations will be shared with all registered delegates ahead of the event.

Our partners Education Authority Northern Ireland will have representatives from the following categories attending on the day;
- Business Services and Products
- Catering
- Educational Resources
