Public Sector Procurement in the spotlight

14 Jul 2009

With less than two weeks to go until The 4th CIPSA Public Sector Procurement Forum, it is not too late to register.

With keynote presentations from The Minister for Finance and Deregulation, The Hon Lindsay Tanner MP and The NSW Deputy Premier, The Hon Carmel Tebbutt MP, public sector procurement professionals will be well and truly in the spotlight.

"This the first time we have had such high ranking Ministers speak at the event," said Jonathan Dutton, Managing Director of CIPSA, "this really highlights the fact that the Governments, at both Federal and State level, are increasingly recognising the vital contribution that procurement has to make if they are to deliver on their strategic objectives".

With less than two weeks to go until the conference, registrations are still being taken, with a late rush expected now that the increased work pressures of the financial year end have passed.

"This is a unique opportunity to take stock, re-assess priorities, and catch up on the latest developments in procurement both from a strategic and tactical point of view" said Nigel Wardropper, Event Director for CIPSA Conferences.
