PROCUREMENT
JOURNEY...
The Faculty of Law, University of Malaya, is
pleased to announce that together with the
Bangor University's Institute for Competition
& Procurement Studies (ICPS), Bangor, Wales,
UK, we will be hosting the Procurement Week
2016: The ASEAN Laboratory, an International
Conference on Public Procurement Regulation
and Smart Cities Procurement on 16th and 17th
November 2016.
Procurement Week is a bi-annual international
conference that is founded on the philosophy -
“think globally, act locally”. The conference aims
to explore the many facets of Procurement,
such as Business Development and Growth,
Technology in Business, Procurement Law and
International Trade.
Twice yearly Bangor University's Institute for
Competition & Procurement Studies (ICPS)
bring together some of the world’s leading
procurement practitioners, lawyers, economists,
innovators, strategists and thinkers and
challenge them to address important emerging
national and international issues linked to a
range of topics. It is these experts who are at the
absolute heart of what we do. Their knowledge,
energy and imagination allows us to deliver an
exhilirating and compelling programme that
focuses on our audience's innovation objectives,
compliance concerns, and legal needs.
Procurement Week's experts work with you to
help you address challenging local, national
and global issues, whilst proposing innovative
and pragmatic solutions to help your business
improve its effiencies or deliver better services
to our citizens. At the same time it's our hard
work that ensures Procurement Week's
participants’ expectations are met and that they
are left completely satisfied, and stimulated.
Year-on-year Procurement Week continues
to grow in popularity. For example, in 2014, in
excess of 600+ guests, from over 20+ countries
attended the Week. In 2015, we welcomed
over 850+ attendees to the Week, this time 40+
countries were represented.
In 2015 Chris Hoyle, Crown Commercial Service
(UK) wrote about his experience at Procurement
Week, “I really enjoyed my time at Procurement
Week, and its growing success. The excellent
quality of the presentations. The global range of
attendees is a testimony to the efforts that you
and your colleagues have made to bring this
subject to the forefront of the stage”.
Professor Chris Yukins, George Washington
University (USA) was captivated by the event,
“I found the conference fascinating: the
presentation on the new negotiations to open
procurement of services under WTO was
remarkable, and a cutting edge development”.
We now invite you to spend a few minutes
browsing through the rest of this brochure to
identify the day or days that interest you most,
We look forward to seeing you at the Faculty
of Law, University of Malaya, Kuala Lumpur
on the 16th and 17th November 2016, in our

WE ARE
RECRUITING...
Bangor University is a major international
research centre in relation to the operation of
national and European law and policies on public
procurement law and strategy. Building on this
extensive experience, the Law School offers the
1 year LLM option in Public Procurement Law &
Strategy (Full time programme)
The main educational aims of the programme
include:
To provide candidates with postgraduate level
knowledge and skills in the area of national (UK
and Irish), European and International (WTO,
World Bank and UNCITRAL) Public Procurement
Law and Strategy.
To build up specialist legal skills and knowledge
to equip candidates to operate in the interface
between legal principles that apply in the Public
Procurement environment and the strategic
objectives of interests to organisations in the
public and private sectors.
To provide a flexible programme enabling
candidates to develop national, european
and international perspectives on Public
Procurement law issues and practice, which will
open up a whole new area of opportunity for
graduates.
A strategic element of the programmes is the
presentation of learning from the perspectives
of both the public procurement function
and private sector supplier organisations, to
help advance understanding of the complex
issues organisations involved in public sector
tendering face, and to develop more creative
legally compliant public procurement solutions.
This is achieved through carefully designed
module options and collaborative teaching
involving the use of academic and expert
procurement law and strategy specialists.
