This webinar will include information around the needs of the contract and any updates since the previous version of the contract was awarded. The webinar is expected to run for around 1 hour. At this webinar, suppliers will also have the opportunity to ask the Council any questions they may have about the framework or the procurement process and have them answered in real time!

During this webinar the actual tender documents will be used as the subject matter for the session. Our SDP expert will follow the bidder journey- live online, to register interest, access the tender documents, demonstrate how to use OCS/ PCS-T portals, how to use the Q&A functionality to communicate with the buyer, answer the SPD questions, also demonstrate how to upload evidence or supporting documents, and submit the bid electronically.
