The ‘Transforming Public Procurement’ green paper, published in December, sets out a number of ambitious proposals to shape the long-term future of public procurement in the UK. We are delighted to be joined by Ed Green, Deputy Director for Commercial Policy: International and Reform in the Cabinet Office, for this senior cross-sector roundtable to discuss the proposals, touching on topics including:
- How organisations across the sectors can support the government in achieving the goal of speeding up and simplifying procurement processes
- Ensuring that value for money and transparency are at the heart of public procurement
- Opportunities for small businesses, charities and social enterprises to innovate in public service delivery
