[Thomas Oben]

Managing Public Sector Procurement

06 December 2011 
The Barbican, London 

Public sector procurement amounts to some 50% of total public sector spend. Currently £230bn a year, it is thought that it could reach £300bn by 2015. This expenditure is a huge potential resource for investing in the UK economy, driving innovation and helping to boost economic growth. Its size makes it key to delivering quality public services and to ensuring that taxpayers' money is used most effectively and efficiently.

Public Service Events' second annual Managing Public Sector Procurement conference will provide an essential update on the latest developments and initiatives and the changes that are likely to occur in the next few years. Delegates will learn about new ways to save money through better procurement and new opportunities provided by the private sector, with topics to be covered will include lean procurement, spend analysis, supplier engagement, progress with the common category "deep dives", and the latest on EU procurement directives.
