If you are interested in taking part, please register using the appropriate link below by 3rd July 2026. Note that there is a separate form for Suppliers and Buyers. Registering an interest does not equal a commitment to tender for the opportunity, and participation in any engagement activity will not confer any advantage in the subsequent tender process. Due to the anticipated level of interest, Cirrus Purchasing reserves the right to limit the number of participants in individual engagement activities. Registering an interest does not guarantee an invitation to a specific session. Further details of each activity, including dates, format and joining instructions, will be provided to registered participants in due course.
