The Chamber of Suppliers’ Development and Diversity (CSDD), a chamber for private contractors and suppliers of public goods and services, in collaboration with procurement consultancy firm, ProSupp Consult, has organized a one-day capacity-building training on competitive tendering procedures for its members at the Coconut Grove Regency Hotel in Accra.
About 30 participants, comprising of practitioners, individual business owners and procurement professionals drawn from the construction, information technology, general supply and printing sectors across the country took part in the informative and expertise sharing session.
President of Ghana Institute of Procurement and Supply (GIPS), Collins Agyeman-Sarpong, has been awarded the Outstanding Professional Achievement in Marketing & Procurement. He received the award during the University of Leicester (UK) Centenary Dinner and Awards Night on December 19, at the Golden Tulip Hotel in Accra.
Mr Sarpong who was speaking at the launch of a code of ethics for procurement and supply chain practitioners in Accra, maintained that the code would serve as a self-regulatory framework to be strictly adhered, to help achieve the value that ethical procurement and supply chain brought to the growth of individual organisations and the country at large. He asked employers and state agencies to strictly ensure that employees who were involved in procurement and supply irrespective of their professional and educational backgrounds signed onto the code of ethics.
