The PMA Programme has been delivering procurement capability assessments across the English HE sector since 2010. Individual capability results have been driving procurement development in institutions and the majority of participants have undertaken a 2nd (and often a 3rd) assessment to measure that progress. The PMA programme administrators are keen that best procurement practice is shared effectively across the sector, and to help facilitate this they are planning an PMA participants’ day in June to which all HEIs that have had a PMA will be invited.
The event will be held on the 26th June at Woburn House in London from 10:30 to 3:30. It will involve 4 workshops covering the range of procurement attributes in the PMA model, and will be an opportunity to hear from some colleagues who have made good progress in these areas. It will also include a discussion and Q&A session to share that learning. The PMA team will send formal invitations soon, but until then do save the date.
