NI Water is inviting business suppliers to a 'Supplier Day' on Thursday 14 March 2013.

The event is aimed at current and potential suppliers that do not currently provide goods or services to NI Water. NI Water is a major presence in the local commercial world, and awarded 119 new contracts to companies of varying size in the 2011/12 financial year alone.

Suppliers can book a 20 minute slot with an NI Water procurement officer, who will guide them through the services required by the company as a major investor in the local economy.
