But some public servants are using new frameworks to unlock faster, more innovative and effective outcomes. From open contracting to human-centred design and outcomes-focused evaluation metrics, these ‘cheat codes’ can help governments everywhere raise the quality of public services, lower bureaucratic hurdles and deliver greater value for money. Join a panel of thoughtful public servants and procurement experts who are improving procurement from the inside out. From how to choose key personnel to crafting solicitations to evaluating vendors to effectively talking to companies, they'll share practical strategies, real-world examples, and actionable insights to help you unlock the full potential of procurement in your context. --- This event will take place on Zoom. Joining instructions will be displayed once you register. The event will be recorded and the recording will be sent to all registrants. It may also be made available on Apolitical's platform for other members of our community to enjoy. *Interested in how Apolitical can support you and your organisation?
