What Public Procurement Can Learn From the Private Sector

You might think the world of private procurement differs greatly from the world of public procurement.

But you’d be surprised to learn that there are far more similarities than there are differences. In fact, there are tons of lessons that public procurement can learn from the private sector.

That’s according to Jeff Houtz, Founder and Principal at Constructing Supply Change LLC, who joins the show to explain how private and public procurement compare and what they can learn from each other.

Topics covered:

• Strategies for evaluating proposals that go beyond price and lead time
• How each approaches established project bidders lists
• The universal value of ethics and fairness
• Building a bridge between public and private procurement
