Participants will hear about a real-life protest case that went to court, the facts behind the case, the results and then a discussion of why the court ruled the way they did and what could have been done to prevent this from happening. We will identify the value of the protest process, communications with suppliers and tips on what procurement professionals can do throughout the procurement cycle that can reduce or limit the chances of a protest.
