COMMISSIONING - Procurement Demystified

1 of 3 workshops - why not book all 3?

Date: Thursday, 28th April

Venue: Learning Curve Suite, 3-4 New Road, Chippenham,

SN15 1EJ

Time: 12:00 - 2:00

Cost: £10

Event: Hot Topic

Refreshments will be provided but please bring your own lunch!

In increasingly challenging times, understanding the priorities and demands of

your local authority is essential if your organisation is to potentially benefit from

the public funding available for the delivery of services to the people of

Wiltshire. It is also important that in such competitive times, that you and your

organisation understand how Wiltshire Council purchases services, the rules it

is required to follow, and how you and your organisation can be prepared to take

advantage of the opportunities as they become available.

During this ‘hot topic’ we will cover -

the business objectives of Wiltshire Council around Procurement, within the

current economic climate

understand the key requirements which require the Council to act as it

does…..What does the Council ‘have’ to do?

understand the technical processes which this involves… how does it work?

explore and understand the implications of the above on a group or

organisation.

The session will take the form of a short, informal outline presentation, some

interactive examples and the opportunity for significant questions and answers

with time to explore your areas of interest and concerns.
