Procurement Professional is the official publication of CIPS Australasia

CIPS NZ Wellington event - 3 June 2010

27 Apr 2010

Professional services procurement - defensible outputs or optimal outcomes?

The CIPS Wellington Committee is delighted to have internationally recognised consultant, author and commentator, Ron Pol present on professional services procurement.

Within the context of major public sector contracts and significant change in the government sector procurement space, Ron will deliver a provocative presentation designed to test assumptions and generate debate.

Come along to hear Ron discuss the following hot topics:

• The rights and wrongs of public sector procurement practices
• How procurement processes are viewed ‘from the other side of the fence’ - the commercial realities beyond rose-tinted self-assessment
• RFP do's and don'ts - best practice or common practice?
• Migrating beyond 'defensible outputs' - generating excellent outcomes and value
• Public and private sector - differences, similarities, opportunities
• Winning tenders - 'pitch improvement' insights for suppliers and their advisers.
