I also deliver commercial leadership on services such as Delta eSourcing, Delta Supply Chain/CompeteFor, EBRD ECEPP and PASS Procurement, as well as support for our GO Excellence in Public Procurement Awards and other BiP events, including those with a focus on the Procurement Act.
My mission is to ensure BiP’s internal and external customers have access to the highest quality and most relevant content possible, and to project BiP’s position as the leader in its field. I work with talented teams across our locations in Glasgow and Manchester, and external partners and providers, to enable the success of our customers and company.
