As the UK's biggest public service department we administer the State Pension and a range of working age, disability and ill health benefits to around 20 million claimants and customers. DWP Digital Group operates on a scale unrivalled almost anywhere. Our services touch the lives of almost everyone in the UK at some point. Our IT systems manage 7.35 million benefit claims each year, paying £165 billion in benefits and pensions. DWP Digital Group would like to offer suppliers that provide Digital Skills and Software as a Service solutions the opportunity to attend a supplier event. This event is open to suppliers based in the North East area and we are particularly keen to encourage attendance by SME suppliers. The day will consist of a short presentation delivered by DWP Digital with the opportunity for suppliers to ask questions followed by an afternoon session giving suppliers the opportunity to run stalls which can be visited by DWP attendees. Overall objectives of the day will be: • To increase the awareness of the Digital teams to local suppliers in the market place; • To increase the visibility of local SME's to DWP; • To knowledge share and look for new market opportunities. The date and location of the event are still to be confirmed but it is likely to be late October to early November. A more detailed agenda will be issued nearer the time once attendees etc. are confirmed. Representation will be limited to two attendees per supplier.
