The event is planned to take place in the North East of England, likely from late October to early November, with the engagement end date set for 3rd October 2018. Interested suppliers must register their interest by emailing DWP by the specified deadline, submitting a summary of their organisation and service offering. This supplier event presents a significant opportunity for SMEs in the digital services sector to enhance their visibility and engage directly with one of the UK's largest public service providers. By participating, suppliers can showcase their capabilities, network with key stakeholders, and explore potential future contract opportunities with DWP. Given the DWP’s commitment to fostering local businesses, this is an excellent chance for SMEs that specialise in IT consulting, software development, and related services to potentially grow their business in the public sector. ## Notice The Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) is responsible for welfare, pensions and child maintenance policy. As the UK's biggest public service department we administer the State Pension and a range of working age, disability and ill health benefits to around 20 million claimants and customers. DWP Digital Group operates on a scale unrivalled almost anywhere. Our services touch the lives of almost everyone in the UK at some point. Our IT systems manage 7.35 million benefit claims each year, paying PS165 billion in benefits and pensions. DWP Digital Group would like to offer suppliers that provide Digital Skills and Software as a Service solutions the opportunity to attend a supplier event. This event is open to suppliers based in the North East area and we are particularly keen to encourage attendance by SME suppliers. The day will consist of a short presentation delivered by DWP Digital with the opportunity for suppliers to ask questions followed by an afternoon session giving suppliers the opportunity to run stalls which can be visited by DWP attendees. Overall objectives of the day will be: * To increase the awareness of the Digital teams to local suppliers in the market place; * To increase the visibility of local SME's to DWP; * To knowledge share and look for new market opportunities. The date and location of the event are still to be confirmed but it is likely to be late October to early November. A more detailed agenda will be issued nearer the time once attendees etc. are confirmed. Representation will be limited to two attendees per supplier.

Please include a Word document providing a summary of your organisation and service offering, and why you think you should be selected to attend the event.
