Notice Title

Pre-Market Engagement for Supply of Highways Materials and Rock Salt

Notice Description

Hull City Council is inviting suppliers to take part in a Pre-Market Engagement (PME) opportunity that will help shape the future procurement of Highways Materials and Rock Salt. By participating, suppliers can gain early insight into a framework valued at approximately PS590,000 per year and contribute ideas that support service improvements, innovation and efficiency across the sector.
