"Economic operator" means any person, or public entity, or group of such persons and entities, including any temporary association of undertakings, that offers the execution of works or a work, the supply of products or the provision of services on the market. Where a participant does not meet this criteria they will not be able to attend the Supplier Briefing Session and may therefore be removed from the RFI The Supplier Webinar will start with an Open Forum Presentation that will be delivered by key members of the Project Team. Individual supplier 1-2-1 sessions will take the format of questions and answers with suppliers being able to ask any questions relating to the NHSBSA's requirements, the previously delivered presentation and the potential procurement process.
