This public affairs activity will also track policy and legislative announcements to help position Newcastle University at the heart of the debate, and make recommendations as to how to keep MPs and Peers informed about the work of the University. This opportunity will be advertised to Lot 3 suppliers of the Dynamic Purchasing System (NU1589).
