This Ain’t DC: Navigating SLED Procurement Reform
| Nov 19, 2015
Contracting is often a big hurdle in state, local, and education. Do you have a state contract? Do you need a partner? Is that partner on a state contract? Does your customer use cooperative purchasing? These questions can delay and often derail an opportunity. Procurement reform is a priority for many states. This session will explore the complex procurement world and identify strategies that industry can leverage to overcome SLED procurement obstacles from three separate perspectives: cooperative contracting, government, and industry.
