Catering Services - Training & Admin Hub

**This notification refers to a Market Engagement Event Only**

Cleveland Fire Brigade is currently soft market testing with a view to exploring the possibility of a procurement exercise for Catering Services to its Training & Administrative Hub based in Hartlepool, Cleveland for Fire Service staff, visitors and members of the public.

The Client is therefore inviting any organisation that may be interested in this possible procurement opportunity to a 'Market engagement' event which will be held at the address below on Thursday 2nd April 2020 from 1000 to 1600 hours.
