From the Autumn term 2026, CPC's Procurement Advisory Group (PAG) events will take on a new category-based format, replacing our quarterly regional meetings.
Designed around CPC's three procurement categories – People, Place and Product – the new structure will provide more focused discussions, relevant updates and expert guidance, helping members get even more value from each session.
By aligning meetings with real procurement workflows, we're also making it easier for procurement professionals to invite colleagues, budget holders and subject matter experts who have an interest in each category, strengthening collaboration across our member organisations.
Autumn 2026 PAG Events
Each session will cover the latest framework developments, category updates and procurement insights, while giving attendees the opportunity to ask questions and engage directly with CPC experts.
