Interested organisations should respond to this PIN using the contact details contained within this notice.

You will be invited to a supplier briefing session to be held on 26 July at offices in Wimbledon, SE19 further details will be sent to interested suppliers in due course.

The Authority is only seeking organisations to express an interest in the service delivery and participate in the supplier briefing at this time.

The Authority will manage the responses in relation to spaces available and will do the upmost to accommodate all interested parties. Whilst we don’t foresee space being an issue, if we are not able to accommodate all suppliers, space will be allocated on a first come basis.

Failure to be invited will not preclude any organisation from submitting a tender in any future competition. Details of the outcomes of the day will be used to inform any future contract Notice.
