The title of the event is "Catering Suppliers Engagement Event," and it is part of the restaurant and food-serving services industry. This event will take place online on 15th November 2021, with a deadline for registration set for 8th November 2021. Participants will have the opportunity to engage with DVLA's representatives and discuss their catering requirements, which include providing high-quality, nutritious food options across Wales, especially in Swansea. This tender presents a valuable opportunity for businesses in the catering and food service industry, particularly those that can provide healthy and affordable meal options. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) are encouraged to participate, as they may offer innovative solutions tailored to DVLA's needs. The event aims to foster collaboration and allow suppliers to showcase their services directly, making it an excellent chance for firms looking to expand their client base in the public sector. ## Notice Are you interested in supplying the catering service to DVLA in Swansea? Here at DVLA, we are changing the way we source our catering service. To prepare for this we are hosting an online event on Monday, 15th November 2021, for prospective suppliers and we'd love you to join us to help shape the future of our services. On the day, we'll be sharing our high-level requirements with you and hoping to learn from you more about what the market can offer. We know that privacy is important in a competitive market, so you will also have an opportunity to book 1-2-1 sessions with DVLA. Our future needs are likely to include: i. A high-quality service providing affordable, nutritious, and healthy hot and/or cold food options across DVLA's estate ii. To include an out of hours catering provision; and iii. catering for ad-hoc small to large hospitality events.
