With a package of New Directives in March, a recently opened consultation on their implementation in England, Wales and Northern Ireland, increased focus on the use of procurement to deliver social (as well as economic) results and a growing body of challenges that do not rely on the “procurement” rules at all, procurement practitioners live in interesting times. Join three of Monckton Chambers’ procurement experts as they explore these, and other, hot topics.

Chaired by Peter Oliver
