The session will allow interested suppliers the opportunity to meet with Tai Tarian’s representatives to gain an understanding of our requirements.

For example, we are asking for interested suppliers to tell us:

Please note that the ‘Meet the Buyer’ session will only be conducted on the specified day and that time slots will be allocated on a first come first served basis. When all slots are filled, we will be unable to extend these sessions further.

Please note that recording an interest is voluntary and potential tenderers will not be advantaged or disadvantaged through participation in the ‘Meet the Buyer’ event and any discussions held will not form part of any formal tender process. Tai Tarian reserves the right to change its requirements prior to the Tender Notice being issued and this Pre-Market Engagement Notice does not commit Tai Tarian to undertake any procurement process.

It is anticipated that a Tender Notice will be published within the coming months.
