Local Government Reorganisation Package: Procurement

Join us for this exiting new training oppportunity which is particularly relevant now in light of the recent Devolution White Paper.

You will learn all about Procurement which is the function to purchase works, goods and services for the public.

Our specialist for this training is Alison Robinson, Director of Council Services at Calne Town Council.

Kent Association of Local Councils uses its website and Eventbrite to announce its events so that delegates can choose the workshop or conference they wish to attend. Many of our events are delivered online via the Zoom video conferencing programme, which we find suits everyone’s needs for when we cannot deliver traditional face-to-face venue events. Both Eventbrite and Zoom are easy to use with a few simple pointers.

• We will always send out a “flyer” to inform our membership of upcoming events, so look out for them in your inbox.
• There will always be a hyperlink for you to click on, which will direct you to our website in the first place.
• The date and time will be shown here, with a brief description of the event. Click on the relevant link and that will take you straight to the Eventbrite booking page for the event you would like to join.

We strongly encourage individual Councillors to sign up for an event via the Clerk to the Council. However, when that is not possible, please check with your Clerk before booking your own place.

There are two sections that need to be completed. One is the “ticket buyer” - this is the Clerk or Responsible Financial Officer. Invoices are generated automatically from the site, so you should know what is payable to KALC immediately. You should insert the name and contact details of the Clerk/RFO here so they receive our invoice at once. KALC no longer sends out invoices for Training and Events.

The second section refers to the “Attendee”. This is for the individual who will be attending the event. It is particularly important that the email address for that person is entered and is correct as this is where all joining instructions will be sent. Do double check the form before you hit the “Send” button.

**We will need to share the Delegate email address and name with Parkinson Partnership**
