There are a number of events taking place over the course of the next few weeks which will be of interest to members, all free of charge to attend.
UKUPC have released their legal services event update which you can view here. Particular highlights include Best Practices for Electronic Signing with Womble Bond Dickinson which is a ‘on-demand’ session that you can watch at your convenience and An introduction to contracts for education institutions which takes place on 2 March at 11:00 and is aimed at non legally trained contract managers – a perfect opportunity to skill up colleagues in devolved procurement teams, perhaps?
In addition to this, Clyde & Co. are running a session on Cross-Border Remote Work, Authorized and Unauthorized on 4 March and Freeths are holding a Brexit Brunch series next week covering some very hot topics: data protection, de-risking your supply chain & FX risk and contracts, contract disputes and arbitration under Brexit.
There is still time to sign up for next week’s EAUC webinar covering embedded carbon in construction procurement and the NCSC / CCS training covering Cyber Skills for Commercial Professionals. We are also running what promises to be an insightful time to talk with KMPG on Portfolio Optimisation 11 March at 14:00 – sign up here.
Don’t forget that your institution can book its place at the BUFDG Conference 2021; the programme has something for everyone in procurement – from our opening plenary covering social value, to the future of procurement in light of the green paper and what promises to be a fascinating session on modern slavery – do book before this weeks deadline!
