SHILLONG, FEB 29: A workshop on ‘Public Procurement dealing with Issues and Challenges and Sharing of Experiences of Best Practices,’ was organised in Shillong by the Standing Conference of Public Enterprises (SCOPE), an apex body of Public Sector Enterprises (PSEs) on Thursday.
The event was inaugurated by Ravneet Kaur, Chairperson, Competition Commission of India (CCI) in the presence of Anupama Anand, Secretary, CCI and Atul Sobti, Director General of SCOPE.
As many as 85 participants from 31 different PSEs across diverse sectors attended the event.
In her inaugural address, Ravneet Kaur said that amidst globalisation, the need for a robust market system that supports competition and also discourages any anti-competitive practices has been magnified, and the aim of Competition Law is to create an ecosystem where competition thrives. Emphasizing on the economic and social significance of Public Procurement, she complimented SCOPE for organizing the workshop on this pertinent subject.
Anupama Anand in her address said that the role of Public Procurement is multifaceted and signified that such workshops are catalysts in propelling organizations towards a more efficient, transparent and innovative public procurement landscape.
Atul Sobti in his address said that Public Procurement facilitates a transparent and efficient governing system, and seeing the sheer value and volume of procurement, its role cannot be underestimated. He further highlighted SCOPE’s continued endeavour to conduct workshops on pertinent subjects across the country.
SCOPE has over the years expedited its efforts towards conducting regular workshops on pertinent topics, across diverse regions of the country. Focusing on the North-Eastern region of the country, SCOPE is organizing another workshop on ‘Right to Information’ in Shillong.
