"Procurement in Defence: Where innovation Meets Security"

Join us in this episode where Chris and Fleur welcome Saema Jaffer from the UK Ministry of Defence to the podcast for a conversation packed with insight, honesty, and some seriously thought‑provoking perspectives on the procurement profession.

From Parliament to the Cabinet Office to HS2, Saema has seen (and shaped) procurement at the highest levels, including playing a part in the formative stages of the Procurement Act 2023.

As mentioned in the episode, Saema will be at the CIPS Birmingham & Coventry branch event on Thursday 26th March delivering a Social Value themese presentation. Registration details can be found here: https://events.cips.org/ProcurementwithPurposeMaximisingSocialValueMinimisingModernSlaveryRisk
