    The information gathered through this engagement will support the Welsh Parliament in shaping any subsequent procurement strategy. Participation is voluntary, and responses will be used for research and planning purposes only. Completion of the questionnaire does not form part of any formal procurement process, nor does it create any obligation or advantage in any future tender.

    Suppliers with relevant experience in delivering event stand design and set up services are encouraged to take part. Your insights will help ensure that any future approach is well informed, proportionate, and aligned with best practice.

    Responses must be submitted to Alex Jennings ([email protected]) by Monday 11th May at 10:00.

    We appreciate your time and contribution to this engagement exercise and look forward to hearing from you.
