YPO will be the headline sponsor at Procurement Act Live at the NEC in Birmingham on 27 February.
The event marks the introduction of the Procurement Act 2023. Run in collaboration with the Cabinet Office, it will focus on all aspects of procurement, at every level of the supply chain.
Procurement Act Live will feature expert speakers and interactive workshops. Attendees will have the chance to attend Q&A sessions, with lots of opportunities for networking.
YPO’s head of procurement services, Michelle Walker, will be among the expert speakers. Her talk, “The Future of Frameworks”, will discuss changes that the Procurement Act will bring to these agreements.
Other speakers include Georgia Gould, MP for Queen’s Park and Maida Vale, Shirley Cooper OBE, Small Business Crown Representative Cabinet Office, and Ben English, Head of Procurement Reform at the Ministry of Defence.
Procurement Act Live will host a live debate arena, as well as four insight zones that will deliver compelling insights and cover a range of topics regarding procurement, commercial and supply chain.
The Cabinet Office engagement zone will give guidance to buyers, as well as existing and aspiring framework providers, as they navigate the new landscape.
The Procurement Act provides an opportunity to rethink how both buyers and suppliers can work in unison to achieve outstanding public services. The regulation change will bring a wealth of opportunity but will also see challenges as the supply chain adapts.
For public sector buyers, stakeholders and procurement professionals, understanding how the new regulations affect procurement is vital. Procurement Act Live is the perfect opportunity to equip yourself with the knowledge needed to ensure a smooth transitional period.
The YPO team will be on hand at Stand 21 throughout the event to share expert insight into the act and the changes that come along with it. From the bottom to the top of the supply chain, let us help and advise you achieve a smooth transition and get the most out the Procurement Act.
