Learn about developing partnerships, collaborations or consortia when seeking to secure opportunities in the public sector

Looking at the 6 months leading up to becoming ‘contract ready’ we’ll explore what the key areas of focus are for businesses wanting to work together to secure work in the public sector.

We’ll explore what the make or break elements are of preparing to work with others.

This highly interactive workshop will be an opportunity for businesses to meet, greet, exchange details and explore how facilitation can be helpful to forming a consortia. We will explore also the potential costs that could be associated with setting up the different forms of partnerships.

This session will be led by Dr Jane Lynch, Reader of Procurement at Cardiff University. Jane is a member of the Institute of Collaborative Working (ICW) and is a leading voice on collaborative working. More recently, her research has focused on public procurement and procurement policy (joint bidding, community benefits, local multiplier effect of local sourcing).
