The Procurement Journey

About this event

This comes at a time when the country is still recovering from the pandemic, geo-political factors as well as record inflation which has resulted in many challenges for public sector bodies. 

One of the biggest risk for public procurement going forward is that the combined legacy of the last few years, capacity challenges and pre-Brexit rules may reinforce a risk averse culture. If this happens, it will be a missed opportunity not just for public procurement but more importantly, for public bodies, communities and local small firms who should benefit from the updated procurement landscape.

Our event provides an essential introduction to Government proposals to transform public procurement and how they can provide the framework which best meets the needs of your organisation and the wider community it supports. Property and infrastructure procurements are some of the most complex and the costs can be significant if we get it wrong. We’ve called this webinar the procurement journey because it starts with initial inception and will take you stage-by-stage through to post project review.

Who should attend?

This course is aimed at Directors, Heads of Service, procurement officers, asset managers and those involved in property and infrastructure procurement.

How will I benefit?

The webinar will take you through the procurement processes of major property and infrastructure projects from inception, through design and construction to post-project appraisal. We will give you the skills, knowledge and confidence to be able to apply new approaches to public sector procurement in an innovative way which delivers positive outcomes for your communities.

The day will be interactive and will give you the opportunity to find out what is happening in public sector procurement and provide practical tools and guidance for you to apply back in your organisations.
