Why Attend?
Collaboration across the public and private sectors has led to the delivery of better public services across Scotland. As the reform agenda moves forward, the importance of learning from others becomes ever more relevant as lessons learned in one area could help or be applied in others to minimise effort and maximise efficiencies in economic and best practice terms. Compliance with procurement policies and standards, improving engagement with suppliers and the management of supplier relations, and developing and continuously improving procurement skills, capacity and capability are key themes of the reform agenda to further improve performance in public procurement.
Whether you work in the public or private sector or are a procurement professional, the owner of a procurement function, a manager or a supplier, this year’s event will provide you with:
- a Ministerial perspective on procurement and its importance in helping to support Scotland’s economic growth;
- an update on the latest developments and current policy aspects of procurement; and
- greater awareness of best practice and what others in this field are doing.
