Public Sector Buyers
Procurex Scotland is the only centrally located event designed around the needs of public sector professionals tasked with buying in every role – from procurement officers and IT managers to finance directors and chief executives.
Meet your efficiency savings targets with free procurement training
Learning and personal development is at the core of Procurex Scotland. Over 60 FREE training workshops for public sector buyers will be held over the course of the two-day event. The workshops aim to help you improve your knowledge of the ever-changing procurement landscape, including the most recent EU legislation. Ensure that your current procurement practices are compliant and that you are obtaining maximum value from them by attending taster sessions on topics such as the implications of the EU Remedies Directive and contract management reporting.
Buyers will also have access to the Scottish Government Sixth National Public Procurement Conference as well as seminars featuring key speakers from Scotland’s leading procurement-related organisations.
Explore innovative solutions
Public sector bodies across Scotland spend over £9 billion a year on goods, works and services, making public procurement a powerful stimulus for innovative solutions. With this huge commitment of taxpayers’ money comes the responsibility for each department to ensure that it is deriving maximum value from its expenditure, continually achieving financial savings while driving improvements in public services. This can be achieved by harnessing the power of innovative suppliers to produce better solutions at lower costs.
Maximise the value from your procurement exercise
The public sector needs to be more strategic in its thinking about procurement, adopting a broader perspective and cooperating with other public sector purchasers and procurement bodies where required in order to achieve better value for money.
Attending Procurex Scotland 2010 will provide you with the opportunity to engage directly with a range of suppliers who can offer innovative solutions to your procurement needs. The event will also be an occasion to meet with other buyers, purchasing consortia and procurement experts to share ideas – ensuring that you are using all the tools available to you to streamline your purchasing activity.
