The opening event of the Public Procurement Think Tank season

On Thursday (October 3rd), we kicked off the new season of the Public Procurement Think Tank with an opening event at our new office in Skyon. We discussed reliance on third-party resources and the associated legal and practical issues.
Several of us shared interesting experiences and insights on how suppliers have approached this reliance. We also tried to collectively find solutions to borderline situations, talking about things as they really are.
Kristel Mesilane (Head of Procurement Department at PERH) shared her feedback on the recent think tank event as follows: "Reliance on third-party indicators is a topic that has been discussed quite a lot in the field of public procurement, but yesterday’s procurement think tank once again provided me with new knowledge and practical advice on how to resolve certain situations. Kadri gave an overview of the relevant case law, illustrating the theory with good practical examples. An additional value, of course, is the personal experiences of other procurement professionals, which help clarify many nuances when discussed."
Think tanks for procurers are excellent places for sharing practices and ideas, seeking and giving advice, and expanding networks. Think tanks for procurers are held at least once a quarter, and participation is open to clients of our firm. In the near future, we will also start hosting think tanks for our supplier clients, with a similar opening theme, as there are always two sides to procurement, and in practice, it is our suppliers who carry out the reliance.
