Pricing Workshop postponed from 14th July 2014

The Pricing Workshop scheduled for the 16th July for the University of Bradford has been postponed or cancelled.  The reason is that there was so much interest in the Public Procurement evening that it is being  built on with another event on Monday

I shall be helping out on that rather than running a lead in to the Pricing workshop, which we hope to reschedule for later in the year (but no promises).

Here are details about the Knowledge Transfer event.

14th July 2014
Arthur Francis Lecture Theatre, Bradford University School of Management,
5.30 - 6.00pm registration - 6.00pm Evening speakers - 7.30pm Food - Networking.
After coffee on arrival, the evening offers you direct access to insights on this management theme through our speakers. Later, you can network with people over a nibble (or two) and share experiences. For us it’s not about the networking it’s about the knowledge and the insight we can all develop.
 
Speaker topics:
 
Procurement Myth Busters
 
And
 Breakout sessions on
 
Tips for successful tendering
European Union Directives
Social Value
YORtender
 
This evening is about finding out what is on the horizon in procurement from your local councils but also about finding out more about how they work, what drives them and correcting some of the myths about process and actions you need to engage in to work with them. The will be plenty of chances to air views and to ask…well the daft questions about what to do and how to do it. There will be some break-out sessions to look at different topic areas too.
