Autumn Plenary Series
e-Procurement 2006-2010
- the shifting landscape

Looking ahead is always a challenge when there is so much to do on a day-to-day basis, but the e-Procurement landscape is slowly changing from implementing the basic e-procurement tools towards the complex service areas where most of the authorities' spend lies. Shared service e-procurement has become a key plank in government's efficiency agenda and sustainability is following hard on its heels. 

In response to this, Imaginist is running an Autumn series of half-day plenary sessions , to give procurement and service unit managers an opportunity to exchange ideas and consider how they need to be adapting their strategies to meet the next set of challenges.

The series will draw on some research that we are currently carrying out, bringing together knowledge and expertise of a group of best-of-breed service providers to paint a picture of the next five years. This will be presented as a context for our debate. If we get a good response to the plenary series, we hope to be able to publish the results of the debate and present them at the NePP December Conference.

You are invited to attend and contribute to one of these plenary sessions, being held in London and Manchester over a 6 week period in October and November to give you every chance to fit it into your crowded diary.

The cost is £90 , to cover our admin and venue costs and allow us to run this as an independent programme, not influenced by commercial sponsorship.

We would particularly like to see the profile of e-procurement being raised in the complex services areas and have structured the pricing to enable you to offer additional places to your colleagues in Construction and Social Care at 50% discount, while places are available.
