🚀 Transforming public procurement: The Dorset Council We’re proud to showcase the latest case study in collaboration with *Dorset Council UK, a bold example of how local authorities can use procurement to power digital innovation and economic growth. Faced with the challenge of moving fast while staying compliant, Dorset Council introduced a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) - a more agile and inclusive way to contract with a diverse ecosystem of suppliers, from early-stage startups to global tech leaders. 💡 What they achieved: ◾ 80+ organisations applied in the first 30 days ◾ Procurement completed in as little as 16 days ◾ New digital infrastructure, including the UK’s first WiFi-connected steam train ◾ Recognised globally as a Startup Ecosystem Star for visionary public procurement 👉 Read the full case study on our website: https://lnkd.in/dqBTSj_g {hashtag|#|PublicProcurement} {hashtag|#|GovTech} {hashtag|#|DigitalInnovation} {hashtag|#|IPEC} {hashtag|#|DorsetCouncil} {hashtag|#|CaseStudy} {hashtag|#|Innovation} @Rikesh Shah @Kayleigh Hadjimina MCIPR @[Olga Kuzmich](urn:li:person:6OhK_S2w8E) *Connected Places Catapult @Colin Wood @Ian Brotherston @Dr Colin Birchenall @Theo Blackwell MBE @[Sarah P.](urn:li:person:WI_wH_LflU) @Daniel Clarke @Abdul Rahim @Dagmar Steffens @Paula Claytonsmith @Eddie Copeland @Robin Knowles @[Steven Sinclair](urn:li:person:_qMF2RKImB) @Chanelle Busby (MCIPS Chartered) @Tina Holland @Liz St Louis @Andy Reed @Darren Divall @Owen Wilce @[Juliana Gasparette](urn:li:person:_IfWGNCNYk) @Julia McMurdie @Keith Swerdlick @[Ian Williams](urn:li:person:O5eI4W_OuN) @Lisa Tuck @Paul Kirkbright @Wyndham Plumptre
