Key Topics Covered:
- Neil will provide a brief overview of the administratively simple changes that have been implemented.
- Learn about the reconfiguration of the Procurement Portal, which will now direct quick quote requests to Isle of Man-based suppliers initially.
- Understand the ongoing work required to fine-tune the processes and update Government’s Financial Regulations to reflect the new procurement approach.
Discussion Points: In order to assist in future decision-making, Neil will also be seeking feedback from members on the following:
- If goods or services are not available within the Isle of Man market, should quote requests still be directed to local suppliers first?
- What is a reasonable timeframe for a quote to remain open to Isle of Man-based suppliers before considering off-Island suppliers
