Trading with the public sector brings many benefits – not least being paid on time!

We know that winning public sector contracts isn’t straightforward but there are ways in which you can navigate the complex rules and regulations which, for most private sector organisations, can be quite baffling.

This is why the Local Government Procurement Network (LGPN) Showcase 2013 is focussing on the theme ‘Delivering Value Through Innovation’ to explore the constant changes in local government procurement driven by cuts in spending, changes in legislation and the demand for joined-up services, and how private sector innovation can be part of the response to these challenges. The overriding aim of this event is to break down the barriers between the public and private sector by providing a platform for learning, collaborating and networking.

This one-day event, to be held in October in the heart of London, will bring together over 300 local government buyers, project managers and decision makers for a day of learning, networking and collaborating. The event consists of a Showcase Exhibition, Buyer Engagement Village and product Showcase Area along with real-life interactive case study learning sessions which will educate and inform both delegates and exhibitors.

The organisers say that this is not a trade event.  It’s a specialist local government procurement event which attracts buyers, project managers and commissioners who are actively looking for organisations to buy from. For more information call 0845 270 7066 or go to www.lgpn.org
