Role of CPD
CPD has teams of professionally qualified staff providing expert advice to the NI departments and arm's length bodies.
Our staff are informed on markets, new technology and trends - we add value to government projects.
The services we provide act as enablers to the Programme for Government outcomes, impacting on the lives of citizens.
The role of our procurement and project delivery experts includes:
- helping the client clearly define what they need
- advising on the best method of finding a supplier
- taking it to the marketplace to obtain best value
- assisting in managing the contract
CPD is committed to ensuring that small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) have the widest possible access to government opportunities.
