Procurement of IT in the public sector – recent developments in law and practice
Originally broadcast on Friday, May 20, 2011 - 12:30
This webinar covers:
Legal and practical challenges facing IT procurement by public sector bodies in an age of austerity
• Renegotiation of existing contracts to drive down costs - the commercial and contractual levers, and the public procurement law concerns
• Termination of existing contracts to cut public spending - the potential mechanisms, costs, benefits and liabilities
• Buying shared services across government - the practical, contractual and public procurement law issues
• New risk transfer models - is it possible to achieve better value for money by recalibrating the balance of risk between purchaser and provider?
• Streamlining of government procurement procedures/standardisation of government IT contracts - can more be done to reduce the cost of procurement in the public sector?
