Delivering savings through improved collaboration

Effective procurement and value for money have never been more critical than they are now due to the current economic climate.

We need to continually up our game, so you are invited to consider the challenges and identify solutions at this cross sector ‘Collaborative Food Procurement Forum' on Tuesday 8th June 2010 at the Walkers Stadium, Leicester.

This event is your opportunity to input your experience and shape the agenda for collaborative food procurement within the region.

You will have an opportunity to:

ô€€¹ Focus on taking real and practical action to deliver savings from your food spend.
ô€€¹ Hear the latest thinking on sustainable food from the experts.
ô€€¹ Provide input to set the cross sector collaborative food procurement agenda for the region.
ô€€¹ Network with colleagues from local government and across the public sector.
ô€€¹ Hear about the latest policy initiatives that will impact on food.
