LOT 2 - Provision of Retailers Online Marketing Platform (part of the Retail Marketing initiative) ? LOT 3 - Provision of Tendering Support (the Supply Tower Hamlets initiative) Additional information: The Council is committed to improving the quality of life for both residents and businesses within Tower Hamlets.
