Omsk business is invited to the practical forum #PRO_zakupki

For the first time, legislators, customers, suppliers, control and supervisory authorities will meet at the same venue in the region to dispel myths about procurement and discuss pressing issues in a discussion format.

On September 30, the #PRO_zakupki forum will be held in the regional Congress hall: “Public Procurement: Opportunities for small businesses” is a platform where issues related to government, public—corporate and corporate procurement will be discussed. The forum is funded by the National Business Support Project.

The forum will bring together all stakeholders in the field of procurement: legislators, customers, suppliers, control and supervisory authorities. The purpose of the event is to help all participants in the public procurement process find answers to painful and difficult questions, understand innovations, understand the prospects and vectors of development of the procurement sector. The platform was also created in order to dispel myths about procurement, form the right vision, understanding and attitude to procurement in order to avoid mistakes, give each participant of the forum the opportunity to gain practical skills, answer questions that have accumulated now or will appear during the event.

"Every participant of the forum, from beginner to professional, will gain a lot of useful knowledge and practical skills for participating in public procurement. Training in the intricacies of working with purchases, as a rule, can be done for a fee, but our partners and I decided to help small businesses and give them the opportunity to get the most useful knowledge for free on one site. If you want to learn more about procurement and get practical skills, come along," they invite you to the My Business Center in Omsk (the Omsk Region Entrepreneurship Support Foundation).

The Omsk regional branch of OPORA Russia is the general contractor of the forum, and the forum will be held with the support of the regional Ministry of Economy.

The program of the #PRO_zakupki forum includes an information and discussion platform, a report "Quotas and National treatment", a round table on "Business and regional corporate customers", a master class "Business in procurement is real", a workshop "Entering the public procurement market" and even a prize draw among the participants who registered for the forum. Among the prizes are certificates for studying at the All-Russian educational and methodological center "Auction Consulting" and other gifts from partners.

At the discussion platforms, participants will be able to discuss practical issues related to working with tenders with federal and regional experts. For example, Natalia Dokhvat, Head of the Main Department of the Omsk Region Contract System, and Valery Shagaev, Vice President of OPORA RUSSIA and Chairman of the Board of the Association for Cooperation of Entrepreneurs in the Field of Corporate Procurement, will speak at the forum.

One day of the forum is equivalent to a course of study and practice: the event will start at 9:00 and end at 16:00 in Omsk on 70 let Oktyabrya Street, 25 K.2. Pre-registration is required to participate.
