## Notice

The Authority is pleased to confirm that it will be facilitating the first site visit to HMP Doncaster for organisations with an interest in this procurement opportunity on Tuesday 9th and Friday 12th July 2024.

The Authority will then confirm which session you are invited to attend. For the avoidance of doubt, you are only invited to attend one of the sessions and not both.
