Summary
Machine-generated summaryThe University of Insubria is sourcing a catering service through a direct award procedure on the SINTEL platform. The catering will support a study day scheduled for 16 October 2026, split into two parts: in the morning, the presentation of the proceedings of a department conference on the end of Austria-Hungary, titled 'La fine della fine della Storia', and in the afternoon, a historiographical and cultural meeting. The notice is issued as a request for quotation, so the university invites suppliers to submit a price estimate for the service. The procedure concerns supplies and services and falls under the catering services category, and it is currently published.
