Procurement is one of the hottest topics today when it comes to modernizing government for the digital era. Therefore, I’m very pleased to invite you to join your fellow DELP alumni for a unique opportunity to learn about how other jurisdictions around the world are evolving their procurement approaches to ensure agile delivery and modern digital service delivery approaches.
