What is being bought
Manchester Central is currently looking for a supplier to supply soft drinks to Manchester Central Convention Complex, Junction, Central Library, Runway Visitors Park and any other associated sites.

As a world-class international convention centre, Manchester Central requires products of the highest quality.
