New Webinar: “Better Understand Public Procurement and the UGAP Referencing Process”
The Ministry of Economy and Finance of France is hosting a new webinar on November 5, 2024, at 7:00 AM titled “Better Understand Public Procurement and the UGAP Referencing Process.”
What is Public Procurement?
Public procurement refers to the process by which government agencies or public entities acquire goods, services, or works from private sector suppliers. It involves a set of regulations and procedures designed to ensure transparency, fairness, and value for money in public spending.
What is UGAP?
UGAP (Union des Groupements d’Achats Publics) is a public organization in France that centralizes the procurement of goods and services for public entities, including local authorities, healthcare institutions, and educational establishments. By aggregating demand, UGAP aims to optimize purchasing costs and streamline procurement processes.
What is the UGAP Referencing Process?
The UGAP referencing process allows suppliers to qualify their products or services for inclusion in UGAP’s catalog. This process involves an assessment of the supplier’s technical capabilities, financial stability, and commitment to providing quality products or services. Once referenced, suppliers can participate in UGAP’s competitive bidding procedures and supply their goods or services to public entities throughout France.
Who Should Attend the Webinar?
The webinar is designed for suppliers who are interested in understanding the public procurement process and the UGAP referencing process. It is particularly relevant for businesses that are seeking to expand their market reach and supply their products or services to government agencies.
