This morning, @Rikesh Shah, Head of IPEC, met with Minister Gould for a productive discussion on how public procurement can deliver greater value. With over £400 billion spent each year on public procurement in the UK, there is a real opportunity to apply innovative solutions for better, faster and more cost-effective outcomes. As part of *Connected Places Catapult, IPEC is looking forward to working with the *Cabinet Office, *Department for Science, Innovation and Technology and wider partners to develop new approaches that support innovation through stronger partnerships and better processes, involving organisations of all sizes, from start-ups to corporates. 👉 Learn more about our work at IPEC: https://lnkd.in/dBtk8uPr {hashtag|#|Procurement} {hashtag|#|Innovation}
