Welcome

It is estimated that the Government could save up to £40bn over the next decade by sharing services across public sector HR and Finance alone. The savings to be made in procurement could be substantial. This is your chance to learn about how shared services in procurement can be implemented as well as the barriers and the impact on the market.

The theme for this year’s conference will be Shared Services, and relating this to the threads of both sustainability and collaboration. Shared services is very much a ‘hot’ topic for the public sector and is having a great impact on the procurement function.

The Central Buying Consortium has gone from strength to strength in each year of its development and the national agenda in the shape of the National Procurement Strategy and Centres of Excellence, as well as the Efficiency Review, requires much greater collaboration across the public sector.

Seminar Sessions
As in previous years, we are offering delegates the opportunity to attend a choice of seminars on a range of relevant topics. These offer a higher degree of participation and an opportunity for delegates to engage and discuss important issues in greater depth.

Speakers
We have invited a wide range of presenters to discuss their experiences of shared services and in particular relating this to sustainability and collaboration, which are two key areas that CBC promotes. Our presenters have backgrounds within the public sector, private sector, consultancy and academia, which will give us a rich mix in understanding the delivery of shared services from a procurement perspective.

Drinks Reception
With a strong focus on networking the day will close with a drinks reception to allow you to meet with your fellow delegates and discuss the day's topics.

Why Attend?
Do not miss this opportunity to meet with key buyers and suppliers and hear presentations on how shared services impact on all organisations.
