The Authority will be holding a supplier "bidders day" on Wednesday 27 August 2025 at 10.30am - 12.00 noon, this will be a Microsoft Teams event held to give suppliers an opportunity to ask Procurement and/or the Commissioning area questions in relation to the procurement process
Suppliers are requested to have familiarised themselves with the Tender Documents prior to this event to avoid duplicating questions raised previously and already answered. Where a supplier is unable to attend, information will be shared via an e-tendering Proactis post, shortly after the event. This will include any questions asked and their respective answers.
For avoidance of doubt suppliers will still be able to submit pre-tender clarifications after the event in line with the process outlined in the IA3595 ITT Procurement Pack.
