To better understand the marketplace, we would like interested suppliers to confirm that they can supply, brand and deliver a range of goods to 75 staffed sites which is in the supporting documentation. The response to this PIN will then help us decide how we structure the tender, either into one contract covering all products or split into specific product Lots.
