Who should attend?

The conference is for all public sector buyers. If you are a commercial director or head of purchasing, procurement or supply within central or local government, or within any other public authority, you should be here.

Why attend?

The UK public sector is undergoing the largest efficiency drive in its history. The Gershon targets called for billions of pounds of savings and future spending reviews are guaranteed.

The public sector will be asked to make greater savings and there will be even more pressure to demonstrate those savings and the sustainable credentials of public sector purchasing.

Brought to you by the Chartered Institute of Purchasing & Supply and Supply Management, this event provides a central forum for sharing positive experiences and best practice about how to get the most from your suppliers, to maximise savings, to improve efficiency, to achieve sustainability.
