About Us
An Essential Procurement Resource for the Public Sector.
IPF has created a dynamic new Website to better serve public sector procurement
practitioners, clients and partners. Integrated with IPF Online Services - a
single user registration provides access to all service areas.
Bringing together information from across the Institute and beyond, including
the CIPFA Procurement and Commissioning Forum, the Technical and Statistical
Information Services and the Signposts Service, IPFProcurement.net is an
essential resource for procurement practitioners.
The new site provides users with comprehensive coverage of procurement related
information and is a valuable tool and resource for practitioners who want to
access up-to-date information about current initiatives, toolkits, research and
developments in procurement. The new website will help public sector colleagues
make more informed decisions about procurement within their organisations and
allow sharing of best practice.
Tim Ramsdale, Head of IPF Internet Services said that "the new site has been
developed with the specific needs of procurement practitioners as well as
voluntary and charitable organisations in mind to make their daily tasks more
simpler." The new site also has enhanced navigation and usability, offering
each visitor access to a growing collection of procurement information, member
success stories and online demos.
In addition the new site provides the visitor with insight into the many ways
IPF and in particular the CIPFA Procurement and Commissioning Forum can assist
organisations deliver better and more efficient procurement. Visitors will
experience not only our services, but the corporate culture, commitment and
dedication to public services.
"From the beginning, we wanted to produce an innovative, intuitive and
informative website and we have achieved our aims. IPFProcurement.net will
inform, educate and hopefully also enlighten and entertain colleagues involved
in procurement whether it is the Head of Procurement or new starter to the
profession. I believe it will become an invaluable resource for anyone involved
or interested in the new age of procurement," said Mohamed Hans, CIPFA PAC
Forum Manager.
Intuitive Navigation
Visitors will be able to quickly and easily travel through the site to gather
desired information including online booking of events, job listings, current
and previous issues of Procurement Watch and the popular Weekly News Update,
subscription rates, advertising information, press releases and news clippings,
and submission of best practice documentation from member and non-member
organisations. Visitors to the site also will find the aesthetic—similar to the
print version of the publication—to be inviting and sophisticated. Special
features range from online tutorials to illustrated full-text feature articles.
As well as reflecting the structure and content of Procurement Watch, the
service will provide information and insight into the developing world of
public sector procurement and the work of the Centres of Procurement Excellence
covering all the important topical and technical issues:
-
Efficient and Effective Procurement;
-
Partnerships and Collaboration;
-
Sustainability;
-
E-Procurement;
-
Supply Chain Management.

We hope you'll enjoy the new look and feel and that the features will enhance
