About this event

EVENT DETAILS

Time: 10 – 11am

With the changes introduced by the Procurement Act 2023, alongside the launch of our Supplier Relationship Management (SRM) programme and Business Review pilot, we believe this is an ideal time to bring our supplier community together.

This webinar will provide an opportunity to share key updates and reinforce important messages. We will cover the main themes of the Procurement Act 2023, with a particular focus on transparency requirements and the introduction of KPI reporting.

We encourage all our suppliers to attend and participate. The session is designed to facilitate knowledge sharing, provide clarity on upcoming changes, and offer suppliers a forum to ask questions, provide feedback, and better understand how we can work together effectively under the new procurement landscape.
