Connect and confer via CPC Communicator

One of a number of networking resources available to our 10,000+ registered members, the CPC Communicator tool has multiple potential uses that institutions can benefit from, as outlined by advocate and Contracts Manager, Lisa O' Shea.

The CPC Communicator allows CPC members to reach out to each other for all manner of procurement requirements. In the past, this free online tool has been used for guidance on internal policy, the sharing of template and tender documentation and discussing framework options, where available, as well as acquiring feedback on suppliers, discussing difficulties in the market, linking webinars and offering guidance on regulatory change.

Occasionally, CPC staff working within the Contracting and Consultancy teams will use the CPC Communicator to reach out to members directly for feedback on frameworks, something which allows us to offer improved services. Meanwhile, our RPAs can use the facility to share information about upcoming Procurement Advisory Group (PAG) events, webinars and training.

The CPC Communicator is easy to subscribe for and may be beneficial to finding other institutions that have the same questions or issues as your own. Find information how members can subscribe to our free CPC Communicator here.
