IPPC6: Wednesday 14th – Friday 16th August 2014
Dublin, Ireland

Public Procurement remains a key focus for policy makers in this time of global downturn and austerity. As such both academics and practitioners have a desire to share their research and practice in and open and transparent environment. In Dublin, August 2014, the Sixth International Public Procurement Conference (IPPC6) will take place. The IPPC is the largest international public procurement conference globally dedicated to academic discussion and practitioner engagement. Over the last 10 years having built its profile in attracting partcipants from over 60 countries, it is hoped that the conference in Dublin will exceed this. . more

Best Paper Awards:
There are three best paper awards, with $3,000 for the 1st best paper, $2,000 for the 2nd best paper, and $1,000 for the 3rd best paper. In addition, there are awards for students’ and practitioners’ best papers. Following are three best papers from IPPC5. more

Instead of reinventing the wheels, practitioners, researchers and policy makers can find “best practices.”  Best practices include cases, selected good samples of manuals, laws, tendering documents, specifications, etc., in this web page. Hopefully, this IPPC web page will gradually become a one-stop source where practitioners and researchers can access easily best practices and good samples of the above procurement documents.
