DPRTE 2020 & PASS have hosted a live webinar held in conjunction with Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) entitled Building the Defence Estates Infrastructure & Connecting Opportunities.
The webinar saw Nick Wilkinson, Commercial Head of Programmes at the Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO), take attendees through what DIO looks for in its suppliers, the types of requirements it has and how the defence infrastructure sector is shaping its procurement strategy.
With an annual spend of around £3 billion on construction and infrastructure services on behalf of its customers, DIO represents a significant opportunity for both current and potential suppliers.
Nick spoke about ongoing efforts to making it easier for suppliers to work with DIO. By making DIO easier to work with it is envisaged there will be an increase in the number of suppliers to defence – creating a wider and deeper economic impact both nationally and regionally.
Nick was joined by Eddie Regan from BiP Solutions’ Procurement Advice and Support Service (PASS). Eddie was on hand to provide a valuable insight into how to get started in this sector, who the various buyers are, the procurement rules that apply and how to successfully identify, bid for and win tenders.
DIO are official DPRTE event partners. This year event is set to feature for the first time, an Infrastructure and Estates Pavilion, which will allow both buyers and suppliers to connect with key Defence Infrastructure Organisation (DIO) personnel and gain an insight into the latest initiatives, developments and opportunities within defence infrastructure.
For those companies looking to engage with the infrastructure marketplace, the DIO-supported Infrastructure and Estates Pavilion will allow both buyers and suppliers to connect with key DIO personnel and gain an insight into the latest initiatives, developments and opportunities within defence infrastructure.
The Pavilion will also include a Knowledge Transfer Zone, which will see a range of topical educational and interactive sessions designed specifically to enhance attendees’ knowledge and ability to contribute to the future direction and delivery of the ongoing defence infrastructure and estates procurement programme.
The speakers include a number of leading experts from DIO and the wider defence infrastructure marketplace, including DIO’s Commercial Director Jacqui Rock.
