Conclusions (Cont’d) • Leverage Competition (and Cooperation) to Acquire Goods and Services • Paper showcased NASPO/WSCA coops • Examples: Oregon lodging, Ohio education reform, Maine computer notebooks coops • CPO network available through NASPO • Increase Public Confidence in Public Procurement • Adequate training resources are key, e.g. Oregon and Virginia • Idaho’s PIPS and Oregon Ts and Cs initiative • National collaborations, e.g. NASCIO

  8. Conclusions (Cont’d) • Promote a System of Integrity • Sufficient resources for oversight, no matter what policy choices are made • E.g., business size validation, environmental purchasing complexity, local preference definitions • Limited efficacy of self-policing through protests • Engage your Senior Procurement Official early! • Adapting to changing conditions • Avoiding unintended consequences
