Procurement is a clerical task that cities do on autopilot: Decide what you need. Write a mind-numbing couple dozen pages of specifications. Collect a few bids from the usual suspects.Yep, that’s procurement. But it doesn’t have to be that way. Instead of functioning as a rote purchasing exercise, what if procurement could serve as a way for cities to find new approaches to their problems? Join us to explore problem-based procurement, pay-for-performance, prizes, and other innovative approaches to using the city’s purse to elicit better solutions more cheaply, while supporting local ventures.
