Market Engagement Notice
Summary of the contracting process

The Wigan Council is hosting a "Meet the Buyer" event aimed at engaging local businesses, scheduled for Thursday, 12th May 2022, at Leigh Sports Village, Sale Way, Leigh. This event is part of the planning stage of the procurement process and aims to foster collaboration with Wigan Council, the Wrightington, Wigan and Leigh Teaching Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, and other organisations. Interested businesses can participate in two informal drop-in sessions: the first from 9:30am to 12:00pm and the second from 1:00pm to 3:30pm. The engagement will conclude on 2nd June 2022. The event focuses on the construction industry, with a specific classification under CPV codes such as Construction work and associated architectural and engineering services.

This event offers a valuable opportunity for local businesses, particularly small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to connect with procurement decision-makers and industry experts. Attendees will gain insights into current commissioning intentions and have the chance to ask questions and network, which can lead to future contracts and collaborations in the public sector. It allows businesses to understand the support available from Wigan Council's Business Engagement Team and create meaningful connections with potential partners and customers in the construction domain.
