We were pleased to attend the South East Consortium Procurement event, which brings together professionals from across the public sector to discuss the future of procurement, supply chain strategy and social value delivery.
The event provided a valuable opportunity to hear from leading voices in procurement policy, legal practice and housing, and to engage with the key challenges and opportunities shaping the sector.
Exploring the Future of Procurement
The programme featured a broad range of speakers and sessions covering topics including:
- The marketisation of frameworks and what it means for procurement strategy
- Below-threshold procurement reserved for SMEs, implications and opportunities
- Social value and contract management in practice
- Procurement policy updates and emerging compliance requirements
- Sponsor perspectives from industry partners including FFT
The event also provided a valuable networking opportunity, bringing together procurement leads, legal advisors, housing providers and consultants to share experience and explore best practice.
Representing Potter Raper
Our Bid Coordinator, Rachel Dabner, Bid Administrator, Lauryah Banton, and Operations Director, Nicola Tilbury, attended on behalf of Potter Raper.
The event provided an excellent opportunity to engage with industry peers, deepen our understanding of the current procurement landscape and gather practical insight that will continue to inform the way we approach bids, frameworks and supply chain engagement.
We would like to thank the South East Consortium team, speakers and sponsors for a well-organised and thought-provoking event, and we look forward to the next one.
