    "description": "NSS plans to hold a Suppliers' Day. The purpose of this event is to share ideas about the planned specification for the EMS and to support potential suppliers to network. We anticipate that the EMS Tender will allow bids from consortiums and/or lead and sub-contractors and we therefore hope that the Suppliers' day will support potential bidders to develop initial relationships. The maximum number of attendees that we can accommodate at the Suppliers' Day will be limited by the size of the venue. We may therefore need to restrict attendees as follows: - Potentially 1 attendee per supplier - Priority given to suppliers who return the questionnaire by the specified deadline (see further details below) - Places allocated on a first come first served basis We anticipate that the Suppliers' Day will be held in the Scottish Central Belt (most likely Glasgow or Edinburgh) during the week commencing 11th February. Once the venue booking has been confirmed we will post the finalised details alongside this PIN notice. To register to attend the Suppliers' Day please email Ashleigh.jackson1@nhs.net with \"EMS Suppliers' Day\" in the subject line. We request that suppliers complete the attached questionnaire and return it to Ashleigh Jackson (Ashleigh.jackson1@nhs.net) no later than Friday 25th January, 2019. The responses to the questionnaire will be used to design the format and content of the event. As highlighted above, the number of attendees is restricted by venue capacity and therefore priority will be given to suppliers who return the questionnaire by the deadline.
