To buy or not to buy - Procurement have the answer!
Saturday, 20 March 2010
Procurement welcome all staff to their biggest-ever Supplier Exhibition on Wednesday 24 March, from 10.30am - 2.30pm in the Palmer Building. This is a great opportunity to find out more about a wide range of contracted suppliers and internal services that can help you and your department.
You will be able to find out about suppliers' latest products and talk to them about your needs, as well as getting to know colleagues from other departments, who will be there representing the services they offer to the whole University. There will be representatives from the Communications Office, Events, Digital Development, IT Services, Commercial Services, the Design and Print Studio and many more.
New to this year's event is a programme of 30-minute seminars presented by a variety of suppliers (including Pertemps, O2 and Dell), giving you the chance to find out what they can do for you and your department. These seminars are free and there's no need to book, but we expect them to be very popular so grab a seat in plenty of time!
Refreshments will be available throughout the day courtesy of Commercial Services, and suppliers will be giving away an assortment of promotional gifts, prizes and product information.
The full list of exhibitors and a detailed seminar programme can be found at www.reading.ac.uk/procurement/staff-only/departmt/events.htm. All the details will also be in the exhibition brochure available when you arrive.
We look forward to seeing you there; in the meantime if you have any queries about the event please contact Procurement on procurement@reading.ac.uk
