Parbery attends South Australia's Meet the Buyer 2026

The Parbery South Australia team – Trevor Woolley, Kylie Burnett and Adam Costantini – recently attended the South Australian Government's annual event, bringing together government agencies, industry leaders and local businesses to discuss procurement opportunities, emerging priorities and future collaboration.

As South Australia's premier procurement and supplier engagement event, Meet the Buyer provides a valuable platform for organisations to connect directly with decision makers and gain insights into the challenges and opportunities shaping government service delivery. The 2026 event attracted more than 1,500 attendees and over 80 exhibiting organisations, reflecting the growing scale and importance of this annual event.

A key theme throughout the day was ‘SA Backing SA Business’, highlighting the role local businesses play in strengthening supply chains, supporting economic growth and delivering outcomes for South Australians.

'Meet the Buyer is a valuable opportunity for organisations like Parbery to engage directly with government decision-makers and gain insight into emerging priorities and better understand the challenges shaping public sector service delivery.

The event was also impressive in the way it showcased the depth of capability that exists within South Australia's business community across health, infrastructure and defence projects. Our discussions with government, industry and other professional services organisations reinforced the need for a flexible, but trusted industry providers who can bridge the gap between strategy, governance and successful delivery.'

For Parbery, the event provided an opportunity to re-engage with previous clients, strengthen relationships across government and industry, better understand emerging agency priorities and continue conversations about how we can support organisations to deliver sustainable outcomes for their communities.

We thank the Office of the Industry Advocate, the South Australian Business Chamber and all participating agencies for delivering another successful event and look forward to building on the connections and insights gained throughout the day.
