The 2025 edition of the Procura+ Seminar, the little sister of the Procura+ Conference, will be hosted by the province Zeeland, and located in the heart of the City of Middelburg, The Netherlands
The seminar will highlight how public procurement can help public authorities accelerate and scale up solutions that can contribute to social, sustainable, innovative and circular policies. Public procurement can for example shorten supply chains, especially in construction and civil engineering, and it can contribute to more effective laws and regulations. The seminar will offer insights into how this can be done and provide a great venue for discussion on the future of public procurement and its strategic connection to policy.
The UAPP Partnership will be present during the Exchange sessions at one of the Hot Topic Tables on day 2.
Valentina Schippers-Opejko and Debby Jansens will welcome you at our table for the following discussion:
Strategic Procurement for a Resilient Future: Integrating Sustainability, Innovation, Social Value & Circularity
This session will explore a holistic model of strategic procurement that integrates sustainable, innovative, social, and circular practices into a cohesive, future-facing strategy.
Participants will:
- Understand the core pillars of a holistic strategic procurement framework.
- Explore how sustainable, innovative, socially responsible, and circular procurement practices interconnect and reinforce each other.
- Learn from practical examples where integrated procurement strategies led to measurable impact.
- Identify tools and methods to embed these principles into procurement processes and supplier relationships.
- Engage in a dialogue on challenges, risks, and enablers to adoption.
This seminar will be for Procura+ members only.
