Product Code: R215-410Description SMi's 6th Annual Conference on education procurement will set the stage in the heart of London for a timely discussion on the most important issues surrounding successful bid strategies, holistic educational visions, future income streams and managing long term partnerships through each phase of the contract. We will be addressing the political and economic problems of introducing a new framework of investment and performance measures, with probable solutions emanating through greater understanding, sharing best practices and promoting teamwork, whilst clearly demarcating roles and responsibilities.
With BSF entering its third and most pivotal year, with the inaugural deals from the early waves due to reach financial close this summer, the conference is opportunely timed to capture the key learnings from the Pathfinder authorities and project stakeholders. They will talk about the challenges they faced along the journey and the changes that have occurred within the industry over the initial bidding period. These insights will prove invaluable to the next raft of authorities due to undertake this process.
