    We are pleased to invite you to our upcoming Supplier Engagement Event as we prepare to initiate a procurement process for the IAP Support Organisations Pilot scheme. This engagement session is a key opportunity for suppliers to gain insight into the requirement and the procurement process. We are also keen to engage with the market, understand supplier capabilities, and explore innovations that can drive efficiency, resilience, and sustainability. Join us to learn more about the procurement approach and how you can be part of this programme. It is our intention to conduct an engagement session virtually via MS Teams on the 19th March at 3pm. Interested suppliers are asked to register their interest by completing forms.office.com/e/PQeE0VBCut ↗ This should be done no later than 5pm on the 17/03/2025. If you have any questions prior to the event please email [email protected] The engagement session will include the opportunity for questions to be raised and also for the Authority to get feedback from you about the requirement. Following the session, participating organisations will be sent a Request for Information (RFI) to compete & return and also have the ability to email the team to ask any further questions (a 5 day window will be opened to facilitate this)
