After the event, suppliers will be invited to complete a questionnaire to provide supporting information on a range of areas that will support DfE's development of its cloud hosting strategy. The supplier responses will be reviewed and where appropriate, suppliers may be invited to 1-2-1 sessions to explore ideas and discuss potential delivery models further. \*Please be aware that registration is for the Market Engagement Event only.
