Agile IT Procurements with Structure and Clear Goals

Agile contracts were created to address the challenge that modern IT solutions cannot always be fully defined in advance, but their results have been mixed. This event builds on the same core idea while adding a clear structure and concrete success criteria instead of vague frameworks, enabling participants to work with agile contracts in a more predictable and effective way.

Early Supplier Involvement in Public IT Procurement

For more than 15 years, MOWE has worked with early supplier involvement in the construction sector – bringing the right competencies together at the right time. We call this approach Integrated Construction. The same principles can significantly improve how public organizations plan and execute IT procurements, especially when the solutions are business-critical. [0]

What this session is about

This morning training session explores how early supplier involvement can create a clear line of sight from business needs to procurement strategy, contract foundation, and subsequent implementation. You will see how technology choices, collaboration models, and contractual frameworks can be designed to support each other from the very beginning of the process. [0]

Who should attend

The session is designed for:

Public-sector professionals involved in IT procurement and tendering
Project and program managers responsible for business-critical IT initiatives
Legal, contract, and sourcing specialists working with public IT tenders
Leaders who need better alignment between strategy, technology, and delivery

Focus and key topics

With a particular focus on public tenders for IT solutions, the session addresses the challenges that arise when the solution is critical to the organization’s core business. We look at how to structure and use early supplier involvement to strengthen: [0]

Needs clarification – translating complex business needs into a clear, shared understanding before the tender is launched
Market dialogue – engaging suppliers early to understand technological possibilities and constraints
Requirements specification – formulating requirements that are precise, realistic, and innovation-friendly
Evaluation approach – designing evaluation criteria that capture quality, collaboration and long-term value, not just price
Contract formation – ensuring that contractual terms support the chosen collaboration model and implementation approach

What you will gain

By the end of the session, participants will:

Understand how integrated, early supplier involvement methods from construction can be transferred to public IT procurement
See concrete ways to create coherence between business objectives, procurement strategy, and contract design
Be better equipped to handle the specific challenges of public IT tenders for business-critical solutions
Have inspiration for structuring future procurements so that technology choices, collaboration model, and contractual framework reinforce each other from day one

This event offers a practical, experience-based introduction for public organizations that want more value, less friction, and better outcomes from their IT procurements. [0]
