New Procurement Vehicle Workshops Registration - Feb 2020

Buckinghamshire County Council publishes Health & Social Care work continuously — 109 notices, roughly one every 6 days. This is a stream to watch, not a cycle to wait for.

73% of Buckinghamshire County Council’s awards go to a supplier it has used before.

Which is the argument for getting on the list rather than winning this one. The incumbent is rarely the last winner — it is the roster. See the retention odds by category →

We are pleased to announce registration for the new Procurement Vehicle workshops is now open.

Buckinghamshire County Council, Integrated Commissioning Team would like to take this opportunity to invite your organisation to attend one of our events.

The new Procurement Vehicle will transform how the Council purchases adult social care services and we are keen to hear your views.

We want to work with you, utilising your knowledge and expertise in helping to inform and shape the specifications.

The key points we will be covering will include: • What does the spec currently look like (in each of the different service areas) • What are the current challenges providers face when bidding for contracts • What can the Council do to streamline the procurement process for these services This is a fantastic opportunity for organisations to come and share their views; we want to understand the current market and work jointly to achieve a new procurement vehicle that works for everyone.

Please note there will be a limit of one place per organisation initially, to each event.

As places are limited we are encouraging providers to book your places early to avoid disappointment.
