Description
Chamber Digital Webinar sessions are NEW for Doncaster Chamber! They will enable you to hear from an expert in their field sharing best practice, knowledge and experience. During this period of uncertainty our aim is to keep businesses moving and talking.
Each session will comprise of 20 minutes from an expert speaker followed by an interactive Q&A where you will be able to ask the expert questions directly. There will be an opportunity to have further discussions with the expert after the session has finished.
Overview:
This session will delivered by Jim Carley from Carley Consult.
This webinar will update you on public procurement issues arising from the current pandemic. This includes the latest Cabinet Office Procurement Policy Notes (PPNs) covering issues such as the flexibilities to award critical contracts with greater urgency, and measures to support continuity of payment for existing public sector suppliers. We will cover the new Retail and Hospitality Grant Scheme, enabling businesses in these sectors to apply for cash grant of up to £25,000 per property. We will also look at emergent procurement trends more broadly, such as the impact from some tenders being cancelled or postponed in the short term, or having more fluid response deadlines, as well as the imperative of sustaining the public procurement pipeline to help pump prime our economic recovery.
