An initiative of the Harvard Kennedy School Government Performance Lab, the Procurement Excellence Network (PEN) is a community built by and for government procurement professionals. PEN offers free tools, trainings, and resources to help your government take its procurement practice to the next level.
PEN’s offerings include:
1) A community discussion board to share best practices and a member directory to facilitate connections
2) Frequent trainings and workshops to help you refine your craft, such as “Fresh Takes on IT Procurement,” and “Hiring and Retaining Staff to Build a Strong Procurement Team"
3) A growing library of specialized how-to guides, templates, and publications on subjects such as “Fostering Equitable Contract Outcomes,” and “Market Research: The Key to Your Next RFP’s Success."
4) Opportunities for one-on-one office hours with GPL experts to workshop your jurisdiction’s procurement challenges
And PEN is completely free. If you believe procurement can be a powerful tool for good and want to be inspired by others who believe the same, the Procurement Excellence Network is the place for you.
