Description

West Sussex County Council are looking for service providers to participate and have input into an initial market consultation exercise, the outcome of these discussions will enable the Council to incorporate the information into our requirements for the contract.

The event will take place on Wednesday the 29th of March 2017 at Billingshurst Community and Conference Centre and will include an initial 'catch all' event followed by individual 1:1 sessions with providers.

To participate in this event please express an interest in this project and send a message via the correspondence facility on the portal no later than 17:00 hours on Friday the 10th of March 2017.

It is imperative that providers attend both the morning session and the individual 1:1 and therefore individual sessions will be notified on the day.
