Optimising the ROI for procurement, operations, processes, and marketplace engagement

24 – 26 November 2021 | QT Canberra

Australia’s business recovery is marked by procurement reforms across the three tiers of government. This is led by embracing “digital marketplaces,” opening opportunities for small-to-medium enterprises and ensuring the sourcing of goods and services are transparent, accountable, and commercially-savvy.

The overall accountability underscores governments’ annual spending that is capped at more than A$64 billion. On the technology front, the public sector IT spending is forecast to exceed A$13 billion this financial year, representing a substantial increase from the previous year.

Governments’ appetite for procurement innovation and delivering “bang for the buck” comes under the spotlight at the  4th Annual Australian Gov Procurement Summit . The information-packed agenda is tailored for professionals that seek to optimise procurement innovation, together with flexibility for contract negotiation, and staying agile, nimble, and open to change.

Key takeaways

Connect buyers and sellers in the digital marketplace

Simplify tendering and contracting arrangements

Improve purchasing outcomes through innovation

Reduce paperwork and one-size-fits-all checklists

Deliver complex projects to time and budget

It was a pleasure to hear from procurement practitioners and their achievements and challenges. Would highly recommend this conference to anyone involved in Public Sector Procurement, it was considerably better than recent CIPS and PASA conferences I have attended.”

“I enjoyed being able to talk to and share experiences with other Government procurement professionals. Many events I have attended in the past have a private sector procurement focus and most of that is about retail sourcing and savings. It was refreshing to be talking about government issues, investment life cycles driven by terms in office and election cycles, and keeping talent in a hot market. I enjoyed the conference.”
