Committiees

 

Tender Committee
The Public Administration market, represented by hospitals, nursing homes, schools of every size and grade, civil servants, the army and the police forces, is becoming increasingly important for the foodservice sector. All major operators hire specialized staff dedicated to public tenders, whose tasks range from studying the legal framework to handling the tenders.

In order to meet the demand for information and insights in the field of public tenders, Angem has set up the Tender Committee, whose aims are:

•	to provide regular updates on the legal regulatory framework
•	to gather and respond to tender-related needs
•	to monitor the impications of changes in the law on the operators' activities.

As meetings are also attended by experts in legal matters, the Committee deals with regulatory issues which are particularly relevant to the foodservice industry.

 

Industrial Relations Committee
