The Public Procurement Reform Programme has already seen increased collaboration across the public and private sectors to deliver better public services throughout Scotland, as well as supporting the country’s economic growth. 

Whether you work in the public or private sector or are a procurement professional, manager or supplier, the Scottish Government’s Fourth National Public Procurement Conference will:

• Celebrate what has already been collectively achieved
• Tell you about the latest developments in public procurement in Scotland
• Enable you to find out how others have overcome challenges to develop successful practices and deliver results

It will also offer you an excellent opportunity to:

• Network with your peers from across Scotland and further afield
• Promote your organisation or work via the exhibition space

The conference will be chaired by Brian Taylor, BBC Scotland’s Political Editor. Delegates will hear a keynote address from John Swinney MSP, Cabinet Secretary for Finance and Sustainable Growth, who will be joined by Ian Howie, Head of Procurement Scotland; Professor John Seddon from Vanguard; and representatives from Audit Scotland. There will also be an opportunity to hear updates from each of the Centres of Expertise – Scotland Excel, Advanced Procurement for Universities and Colleges, NHS National Procurement and the Central Government Centre of Procurement Expertise. This year construction has been added to the agenda in recognition of the significant expenditure this sector contributes to the economy.

This year the event is being run alongside Procurex, Scotland’s first dedicated private and public sector procurement exhibition. Supported by the Scottish Government, Procurex offers suppliers a unique arena to develop commercial opportunities across both business sectors.
