This division allows for a targeted approach to address specific facilities management needs effectively and efficiently.
Suppliers interested in participating are required to submit their tender by 10 am on Friday, 22nd November 2024, accessing the necessary documentation through the Fusion21 online portal under ‘current opportunities’.
