ABOUT THE ENGAGEMENT SESSION; This session will focus on engaging with event suppliers to provide an opportunity for businesses who may be less-familiar in working with Government to understand the HMG event services procurement routes. The session aims to clarify the Government commercial process, offer an opportunity for event suppliers to understand how HMG buys for events, and how the framework processes operate.
