The Second All Island Public Procurement Conference & Exhibition took place on 1-2 May 2007 in the Burlington Hotel, Dublin. This was a collaborative project between the Central Procurement Directorate (CPD), the National Public Procurement Policy Unit of Department of Finance (Republic of Ireland) and cross-border body InterTradeIreland: a practical example of constructive cross-border co-operation.
CPD, along with its partners, built on the success of the 2006 event which was held in the Ramada Hotel, Belfast in March 2006 when the 251 delegates had the opportunity to participate in best practice seminars and talks delivered by 28 international, national and local speakers. The theme of the 2007 All Island Public Procurement Conference & Exhibition was “Driving change through public procurement”.
