      AI…The Future of Procurement & The Procurement of the Future (90 mins)

      In this session we’ll focus on defining Artificial Intelligence technologies and their potential as procurement tools. We’ll also discuss the use of Generative AI by suppliers, but perhaps most importantly we’ll assess the opportunities and threats when procuring solutions containing these technologies. While AI’s potential for enhancing procurement outcomes is vast, the challenges of mitigating any negative consequences are also considerable.

      Overview of the Concession Contracts (Scotland) Regulations 2016 (60 mins)

      With the continuing pressure on budgets contracting authorities are wise to look at alternative funding routes for projects…in some cases letting concession contracts may be an efficient and effective way of delivering works and service contracts outwith our normal budgets. This session will define concessions and use both legislation and legal case studies to provide an understanding of the legislative parameters that must be factored in when considering this option.
