## Summary

The procurement process involves West Dunbartonshire Council, which is currently in the planning stage for a public procurement event titled "West Dunbartonshire Council - Open for Business 2017." This event is scheduled to take place on Thursday, 24th August 2017, at Clydebank Town Hall, providing a platform for local businesses to engage directly with council buyers and influential contractors.
