CIPFA Procurement Network
Procurement Law
The current financial situation facing public sector organisations require a strong, professional procurement and commercial team with general as well as specific expertise in the procurement and commissioning of goods and services. The demand for innovative ideas and solutions to ever-growing complex procurement issues is going to get more at a time when many professional support staff are being taken away.
