The Diamond Trading Company (DTC) is organising two sessions of webinars to provide support to those companies who want to register to become a sightholder in the next Supplier of Choice contract period. The webinar is open to all interested parties, and will be hosted on the portal www.newsightholdercontract.com, on 8 March 2011, at two time intervals – 9:00 GMT and 16:00 GMT.

Attendees can post their questions online during these sessions. The video and frequently asked questions (FAQs) will be available on the portal from March 8 to the closing of submissions on July 7.
