Procurement affects and is affected by the public sector organization as a whole, and the community it serves, whether at the local, state, or national level. Therefore, participation in the collaborative development and adoption of Public Procurement Values and Guiding Principles by all stakeholders is desired. As a way to show support for this collaborative initiative, professional organizations may join as a Supporting Organization. There is no time or financial commitment to becoming a Supporting organization. It simply means that the organization supports NIGP’s collaborative efforts to develop public procurement values, principles, and standards of practice. If the organization can share the word about the project with its members, that would be very valuable.

For more information, or to be added as a Supporting Organization, please contact Tina M. Borger, CPPO, Research Director for NIGP at tborger@nigp.org

OPBA Joins as Supporting Organization and Donates $5000.00

The Ontario Public Buyers Association (chapter of the National Institute of Governmental Purchasing) has joined as a Supporting Organization to support the collaborative efforts to develop public procurement values, principles, and standards of practice.

However, OPBA is a unique supporting organization.  Why?  In addition to being a supporting organization, OPBA provided a $5,000 financial donation to further the efforts of the project.  OPBA’s donation is the first monetary contribution to be received.
