Procurement Connection 2010 was an enormous success and was attended by over 170 businesses and eleven Public Sector Procurement Professionals.
Sponsored by Business Link and Simpkins Edwards and supported by Devon & Cornwall Business Council the event generated interest from businesses across the South West and further and, for the second year running, 'bridged the gap'between buyer and supplier.
The afternoon began with four ten minute presentations from Procurement Professionals:
Stuart Busfield, Southwest One 'Why we want local companies to tender and tips for your success'.
Mark Gronow, Plymouth Hospitals NHS Trust 'The challenges of a Procurement Department'
Paul McCormick, Exeter City Council 'How we evaluate tender submissions'
Philip Margerison, MoD ' Low value work and how to work with us'
Robert Love, Torbay Council
Philip Margerison, MoD
Following the presentations the other represented organisations (Devon & Somerset Fire & Rescue, Royal Devon & Exeter NHS Trust, MoD, Torbay Council, Met Office, Exeter College) were invited to the stage for a question and answer session expertly chaired by Richard Bayly from Goverment Office for the South West and BiS.
Q&AS hosted by Richard Bayly, GOSW & BiS
With the formalities wrapped up there were two hours of networking with the delegates able to approach the buyers for tips over drinks and nibbles.
