Procurement Week puts the focus on public procurement of innovation
A week-long international conference focusing on Public Procurement is putting innovation centre stage, with a 'Game Changing' exhibition aimed at exploring current issues surrounding procurement of innovation. Procurement Week will take place in Cardiff (United Kingdom) and will address a wide range of procurement topics, with presentations from leading procurement practitioners, lawyers, economists, innovators, strategists and thinkers.
The innovation exhibition will see companies from around the globe showcase their innovative products and services to public sector purchasers. A number of speakers working in the field will address attendees, including Nick Brennan of the Fired Up project and London Fire Brigade, who will look at the need to re-think public service delivery.
Selected businesses will also provide a demonstration of their most innovative products, outlining the benefits they can have for the public sector. In 2014, over 500 participants from more than 20 countries took part in the EU-supported event. The event is organised by Bangor University’s Institute for Competition & Procurement Studies (ICPS). Attendance is free of charge.
