BPIF featured in Supply Management magazine

For the second month running, the BPIF was been featured in Supply Management magazine, the magazine of the Chartered Institute of Purchasing and Supply (CIPS), read by a wide range of your customers. The BPIF received coverage as part of its campaign against public bodies’ requests for fees in return for processing tender applications. April’s front-page story featured the BPIF’s victory against Hertfordshire University, which climbed down on its request for £75 ‘donations’ from applicants and agreed to refund all such payments. May’s issue contained a double page ‘head-to-head’ between Lizzy Hawkins, BPIF public affairs officer, and Tony Dunning, procurement manager at Birmingham International Airport, debating whether suppliers should be charged for tendering.
