Palm Beach International Airport (PBI)’s Post

Building Trust in Procurement Last month was procurement month and there were a lot of posts celebrating the month. I didn't do a special post as I have always believed that every day is a day for procurement to shine. Unfortunately there are still some that don't have the trust of their departments. What does this mean? If your departments are always wanting to buy without you being involved then obviously you are not delivering what they need. I have always believed that everyone that talks to me is either a customer or wants to be one. My job is to give them what they need and to keep then coming back. Here is a great summary from Procurement League which should be mandatory in every supply chain class. If you would like to see an example of building trust put into action then the solution is simple. All you have to do is talk to someone at QCsolver Inc. and let us show you how we shine and deliver.

Great to attend The Procurement Expo yesterday. Firstly great to bump into my CIPS tutor Greg Jackson and someone I spoke to on a weekly basis in my previous role Danielle Carvell of Crown Commercial Service SO GOOD to see them! The content was great even if a fair few of the talks were oversubscribed and a ‘shut out’. Some highlights to take away: ✅ KPIs in contracts will take on even greater importance given the debarment and exclusion process. Expect a lot of litigation to test this and the bar to be rightfully high. ✅ Pre Market Engagement will continue to be one of the most important steps in any procurement process. Don’t go to market to see what is available! Engage and the market will have shape your procurement activity. We might even learn something! ✅ People will be rushing to get PINs out and ‘start’ the process under the old regime. Remember there is a transition period not a black and white start / stop date. ✅ Openness and Transparency will remain at the core. There are some innovative routes and in particular things like open frameworks. However key will be doing what you say you will (as always). ✅ The act will hopefully allow us to work in a mulch more intelligent way with SME’s and support growth through supplier development. 🤣As I overheard someone say ‘it doesn’t feel that much different there are maybe just more administrative tasks we need to do!’
