BBWT's In-Person Annual Conference insights

The Big Buyers Working Together (BBWT) team organised its first in-person annual conference on 24 April. The event offered a unique opportunity for sharing knowledge, forging connections, exchanging insights, and weaving the fabric of collaboration among public buyers on innovative and sustainable procurement. With participation from all 10 communities of practice that are part of the BBWT project, the discussions covered three key themes: green/digital, social, and health procurement.

By pooling their resources through projects such as Big Buyers Working Together, public buyers can overcome many of these challenges. It helps capacity building, enables a more efficient use of resources, and gain more power to influence the market to become more social and environmentally friendly.
