Experience Exchange provides chance to learn from advanced organisations

Procurers from across Europe are invited to apply for the PPI Platform Experience Exchange, which will see procurers from less experienced organisations travel to advanced organisations to gain a more in-depth understanding of innovative procurement processes. As well as developing skills on PPI and PCP by learning from others, participants will also experience new ways of thinking about problems and solutions. Additionally, participants will get the chance to see PPI and PCP in action through field visits.

Currently three advanced host cities are taking part: the City of Torino (Italy), the City of Birmingham (United Kingdom), and Réseau des acheteurs hospitaliers d’Ile de France, Paris (France). To take part, applicants should discuss the exchange with their line manager and consider the best time to participate. They should then complete the application form and send it to the PPI Platform team. The timing for the exchange is flexible.

A limited number of places will have travel and accommodation covered. Those interested in becoming a host can also fill out an application form and return it to the same address. Benefits for host organisations include the opportunity to promote their work on PPI and PCP, and the chance to exchange ideas with committed, enthusiastic individuals.
