Meet procurement heads at Footsey Social Enterprise Trade Fair
7th October 2009
If your organisation wants to trade with the public sector here are two workshops, running at Footsey 2009, that you can't miss:
"How to bid for local authority tenders - the procurers' perspective" will be delivered by Lorraine Purcell, Head of Corporate Procurement, Sheffield City Council, and Karen Middlebrook, Procurement Category Manager, Doncaster Metropolitan Borough Council. And
"Opportunities in health and social care - development, investment, procurement" will be delivered by Tracy Cannell, Dept of Health; Dr Sam Linton, Business Development Officer, The Social Investment Business; and Bridget Gill, Associate Director, Business Planning & Continuity, NHS Yorkshire and the Humber.
Footsey 2009 will have more social enterprises, more organisations offering financial support, and more public sector buyers attending than ever before. It's unmissable if you trade with social enterprises or are looking for advice or support.
