PIP events

We host PIP events to help businesses understand the various elements involved in supplying the public sector with goods, works or services. Use this page to access information on upcoming events.

We have been hosting these events since 2015, and hope that our events provide a useful insight into selling to the public sector in the west of England.

Attend an event

Our next virtual event will be held in Autumn 2022

To attend a PIP event, you need to download an eTicket from Eventbrite - we will update this page when tickets become available.

What you need to attend

To attend a virtual PIP event, all you need is a computer or smart phone with access to Zoom.

If you wish to interact with the speakers during the designated Q&A sessions, you will need a microphone and camera.

Who can attend PIP events

Anyone can attend a PIP event, but they are designed for procurement professionals in small to medium size businesses in the west of England who are hoping to sell their goods, works or services to the public sector.

Why are the events still virtual?

In the past, PIP events have been hosted in person, but we have found in recent years that virtual events have worked really well for PIP attendees.

Hosting virtually allows you to be selective and only join the presentations most relevant to you. Hosting virtually also saves small to medium size businesses valuable time and money, without sacrificing a member of staff to attend a whole day or afternoon event.
