## Summary

The National Nuclear Laboratory Limited (NNL) is currently in the planning stage for a Meet the Buyer event and an Operations, Site Works, and Facilities Management Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) Supplier Engagement Event. Scheduled for Friday 22 November in the Warrington area and Tuesday 3 December in the Workington area, these events are focused on procurement within the industry category of "Mining, basic metals and related products" (CPV code 14000000) and include a wide array of related products and services across numerous categories. These initiatives are designed to provide suppliers with insights into NNL's procurement reform initiatives, social value alignment, and upcoming procurement pipelines. Registration is on a first come, first served basis, limited to two representatives per company.

These engagement events offer significant opportunities for suppliers, especially small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and voluntary, community, and social enterprises (VCSEs), to connect directly with NNL's procurement team. Businesses in sectors ranging from food, beverages, and chemical products to IT services, construction work, and medical equipment stand to benefit from attending. The sessions will cover essential topics like the dynamic purchasing system's admission process and the use of the e-tendering system, thereby preparing suppliers to successfully compete for upcoming contracts. This is a prime occasion for businesses to gain early intelligence on procurement opportunities, network with peers, and align their offerings to meet NNL's ambitions and procurement needs.
