There is much that Canadians can learn from Australian innovation in professional services procurement.  

James Leathem, Managing Director of Magnetized Markets in Australia will be presenting research results from almost 300 Australian organizations highlighting issues and opportunities consistently faced by government and business procurement departments and suppliers.

He will also present case studies showing two different approaches used in Australian Local Government for sourcing of professional services – both decentralized sub-tender sourcing, and centralized vendor management. 

The case studies will focus on the role of innovative new technology that has been developed by Magnetized Markets to support these approaches, simplify the process, and lead the drive toward better results for all parties.

Case Study One:

• New South Wales Local Government Procurement (NSW LGP) representing 152 general purpose councils as well as 13 special purpose councils plus 13 Regional Aboriginal Land Councils in the state of New South Wales, Australia.
• See how NSW LGP is seeking to simplify access and maximize value from a managed vendor approach (standing offers).  

Case Study Two:

• See how the Municipal Association of Victoria Procurement (MAV-P) is shifting vendor selection for smaller procurement assignments back to their client departments.
• MAV-P represents 70+ local government agencies in the state of Victoria, Australia.
