The NCPP Board established lofty goals for 2022 to elevate the role of cooperative procurement for the public good. Just wanted to "brag" on recent accomplishments:
• Roll-out of 2-part OUTSIDE THE BOX webinar series featuring NCPP Strategic Suppliers: CINTAS, Disaster Recovery Services, Gordian, NCL Government Capital, RoofConnect, Safeware and WESCO
• Annual Above & Beyond Awards acknowledging 15 public procurement winners from across the nation for National Procurement Month
• Recently signed MOUs with the National Institute of Government Purchasing (NIGP), Florida Association of Public Procurement Officials (FAPPO), and New York State Association of Municipal Purchasing Officers (SAMPO) to serve as a strategic advisor on cooperative procurement. NCPP will provide educational sessions at each of these conferences.
• Monthly Highlight of Strategic Suppliers in newsletter and website; currently booked from Jan - Aug. Slots are still open for Sept, Oct, Nov or Dec of 2022.
• Government Procurement magazine has offered the cover story for both Q2 (Technology) and Q3 (Sustainability). If you have a story or case study that could be included under this theme, please let us know. While we can't "sell" in these article opportunities, we can definitely "share!"
If you are interested in participating in future activities or having your company showcased in an upcoming opportunity, please reach out to Executive Director Tammy Rimes. We wish to continue the conversation to bring the full value of your NCPP membership!
The NCPP Legislative Advocacy Working Group monitors legislation across the nation that may impact cooperative purchasing and our members. For legislation where NCPP will be taking a stance, a newly developed POSITION PAPER further outlines the issue for our members. Below is the most recent for upcoming introduced legislation in Ohio.
Canada - NCPP is here to serve!
If your company sells to entities within the provinces of Canada, NCPP is here to support you! The Canadian Road Map to a Group Buying Strategy has been recently updated, and a dedicated Canada webpage has resources that are free to your teams. Stay tuned for exclusive webinar in May that will feature our Canadian Cooperative Partners.
Thanks to our NCPP Cooperative Partners for supporting best practices in cooperative procurement and education for public procurement professionals.
