Deadline extended! Big Buyers Working Together: Consultations on Public Buyers’ needs

Have you missed the deadline to join the consultations on the Public Buyers’ priorities and the support your organisation needs? 

To give all Public Buyers an opportunity to voice needs and recommendations, we have extended the deadline for your input. Don’t miss your chance to shape the future of public procurement in Europe by filling in the Needs Assessment Survey

Who can participate? 

By Public Buyers, we refer to all public purchasing entities, so if you are involved in public procurement on a contracting authority’s side, we look forward to your contribution. It won’t take you more than 15 minutes and your recommendations can shape the next 4 years of this flagship project, which you might also have a chance to join.   

The Big Buyers Working Together (BBWT) Project helps Public Buyers across Europe to find innovative and sustainable solutions to their current procurement challenges. To build the foundation for four years of collaboration, the Project is currently in the Needs Assessment Phase. All Public Buyers are invited to participate in the consultations by filling in the Survey.  

What happens with your feedback? 

The findings from the Needs Assessment Phase will directly feed into defining the list of topics and the type of support ten new Communities of Practice (CoPs) will offer Public Buyers, starting in the last quarter of this year.  

Need more information? 

Visit the project website and watch the recording of the Kick-off Webinar to learn how your organisation can shape the Project and how you can benefit from participation in it.
