During this session, there will be an overview presentation of the DPS background and the bidding process that suppliers will need to complete, an information gathering session via anonymous polls and finally a Q&A which will be gathered, anonymised and distributed to all after the session. The supplier event will help the Scottish Government have a greater understanding of the marketplace and gather the potential number of interested suppliers within the industry prior to publishing the Dynamic Purchasing System.
