This event is focused on fostering collaboration and engagement between small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and suppliers in relation to the future provision of a Document & Data Management Service. Businesses interested in attending must register their interest through the BRAVO e-procurement portal by 5th August 2016. This networking event presents a significant opportunity for SMEs specialising in document management, data processing, and related services to connect with potential suppliers and learn about DWP's innovative procurement strategies. By participating, businesses can explore partnerships, demonstrate their capabilities, and potentially secure contracts aligned with the DWP's objectives for efficient document handling and service delivery. The event aims to engage those who can contribute to high-capacity data processing, including firms with expertise in mail handling, data capture, and electronic data management. ## Notice This is an opportunity for Small & Medium-sized Enterprises (SME) & suppliers to attend a networking event on 9th August 2016 at Five Ways House, Islington Row, Middleway, Birmingham (B15 1SL) in relation to the future provision of a Document & Data Management Service .
