Led by one of our experienced PASS consultants, this online workshop is designed around your organisational requirements to deliver the most appropriate and targeted support.

As the parliamentary process around the creation of the legislation advances, we will discuss with ever greater certainty the proposed changes to the law and their impact on public procurement.

The focus of this session is all about preparation: ensuring your organisation is ready and able to implement the upcoming changes. It helps you identify areas of risk and challenge and to put in place effective plans to mitigate them.

A one hour, pre-event workshop enables you to identify the key areas that your organisation would like to cover, selecting from up to ten modules from our list of recommended focus areas.

One of the key outputs from this session is an action plan setting out the key areas that your organisation must consider and recommendations on priorities and approach.
