Winning Consultancy Business: How to Navigate the Procurement Minefield

Your committee is actively planning a number of online discussions for this year, designed specifically with the interests of consultants in mind.
The first of these will be on the topic of procurement, both in the UK and international markets. The event will explore the subject from both the bidder’s and the client’s perspective, with speakers from both the private and public sectors. Depending on speaker availability, we expect it will take place in late April, free of charge to TCN members and available to Society members at a modest charge and to non-members at a commercial rate.
The format will involve three or four experts speaking for 10+ minutes each, with plenty of time allowed for Q&A. Full details to be circulated shortly.
In today’s world, this is an event that should be of value to all but the most heavily-in-demand members.
