DCU in partnership with Bangor University and the Irish Institute of Purchasing and Materials Management has been successful in winning approval for their project “Winning in Tendering” under the Ireland Wales Interreg 4A scheme. The project has a budget of 4.2 million euro. Dr. Davis will be heading up the DCU elements and will co-ordinate the Ireland partners. The project is a strategic project aimed at transforming the public tendering experience of Small Indigenous Suppliers in the Ireland / Wales region. The project will address skills gaps of SIS’s and Public Procurers which inhibit the region’s competiveness and sustainable development.
