Meet the University's eMarketplace contracted suppliers!
24 Oct 2014
More than 30 of them will be exhibiting their goods and services - and offering prizes - at the Supplier Exhibition on Thursday, 30 October (10.30am-3.30pm) in Whitworth Hall, Oxford Road
Make a date in your diary to come along and meet a cross-section of the University's contracted eMarketplace suppliers and learn about their products and services.
Organised by the Central Procurement Office, the exhibition has adopted the theme “working together” and will focus on how staff, suppliers and systems can be most effective and efficient when supporting each other.
The team hopes that as many of you as possible will take the opportunity to visit the exhibition and that more of you will be encouraged to use the contracted eMarketplace suppliers as a result.

Prizes

The main prizes are three tablets, donated by LENOVO, the manufacturer of the University's specified laptops.
