Responses must be returned no later than Friday, 22nd March 2024 at 12:00pm. As part of this PIN, a webinar and an in-person suppliers’ day will be arranged. The webinar will be conducted in collaboration with the Supplier Development Programme, whilst the in-person event will be organised solely by FLS. The purpose of these events is to provide a better understanding of the framework agreement to interested parties and to gain feedback from the supply base which could be used to inform the strategy for putting the framework agreement in place. Both the webinar and the in-person suppliers’ day will consist of two parts: Presentation about the framework agreement; Interactive Q&A session. All interested parties are invited to attend the webinar and/or the in-person suppliers’ day. However, there will be limited availability for the in-person suppliers’ day so attendance will be limited to a maximum of 2 individuals per supplier and spaces will be allocated on a first-come, first-served basis. The webinar will take place on Tuesday 19th March 2024, 10:30pm-12:00pm.

The in-person suppliers’ day will take place on Wednesday 20th March 2024, 11:00am-12:30pm at Battleby House, Redgorton, Perth, PH1 3EW. The content of the presentation will be the same on both days, however, suppliers are welcome to register for both events if desired.

To be clear, the purpose of these events will be to discuss the procurement and operation of the framework agreement.
