Is public sector procurement fit for the digital age?

Are finance, budget and procurement aligned with subscription-based commercial models?

The rapid evolution of technology, agile delivery and cloud infrastructure has led many suppliers to move to PAYG subscription services.

• How does the public sector respond to changing commercial models?
• Does the traditional capex / opex split still work? Are organisations’ chief financial officers aware of the increasing use of subscription and pay-as-you use models by digital service providers?
• What approaches can a digital team take in getting their financial teams onboard with a new approach?
• Should there be one framework agreement – and one price - for all the public sector from every supplier?

On the panel: 

• Bobby Mulheir, Assistant Director: Customer Experience, Digital & ICT, Bracknell Forest Borough Council 
• Owen Powell, ICT Director, Central and North West London NHS Foundation Trust
• Nick Roberts, Head of Government & Public Sector, Rackspace Technology
• Geoff Connell, Director of IMT & Chief Digital Officer, Norfolk County Council
• Joseph Langford, Chief technologist public sector, VMware
• Helen Olsen Bedford, Publisher, UKAuthority
