Early engagement between buyers and suppliers allows for the efficient and effective delivery of procurement services.

Engage Effectively

The government’s Procurement Reform programme aims to improve the way public procurement is regulated and will have a significant impact on the procurement process. Early engagement can help to prepare for the new requirements, reduce barriers and enable greater participation for SMEs.

The Market Engagement Zone will provide attendees with the opportunity to hear from key procurement decision makers on how buyers and suppliers can engage effectively with each other, develop innovative and consistent processes, and enable more organisations to participate in the procurement process.
