Procurex National a resounding success
11 March 2010
Procurex National, provided by BiP Solutions Ltd (BiP) – the leading provider of cutting-edge solutions and services that help optimise supply chain value – 2010’s must-attend event for public and private sector buyers and suppliers – has proved a resounding success, attracting high numbers of delegates, exhibitors and key decision makers.
The event, organised by leading supply chain and procurement specialists BiP Solutions, took place on 9 and 10 March at the National Exhibition Centre (NEC) in Birmingham. More than 3300 delegates and 120 exhibitors were present over the two days.
Procurex National 2010 was created to address the need for a centrally located event dedicated to procurement. It presented a unique opportunity for all areas of the public sector supply chain – from buyers to suppliers and their sub-contractors – to meet, exchange ideas and hear about the challenges and opportunities that this £220 billion sector presents.
With over 60 free to attend procurement training workshops and a conference stream for public and private sector delegates which featured 16 speakers – including former Business Woman of the Year Karren Brady; Corin Taylor, Senior Policy Advisor, Institute of Directors; and Sally Collier, Executive Director Policy and Capability, Office of Government Commerce – Procurex National was the perfect opportunity for buyers and suppliers to engage and network.
With key partners such as the Office of Government Commerce and The Pro5 Group of Professional Buying Organisations as well as exhibitors such as Buying Solutions in attendance, Procurex National offered visitors access to new business opportunities and expert advice.
BiP Solutions Sales and Marketing Director Simon Burges said: "The momentous success of Procurex National has highlighted the importance of this event for the procurement industry. In the current economic climate, buyers cannot afford to miss any opportunity to deliver improvements in the way that public money is spent, and the number of delegates and exhibitors we witnessed in attendance at Procurex National has further highlighted this.
“Procurex National has marked a major step forward in the procurement events market, proving that it is the perfect forum for bringing together the public and private sectors."
October 2010 sees the third Procurex Scotland event take place in Glasgow, while plans are already in place for the second Procurex National event to take place in 2011.
