Procurement is the behind-the-scenes team keeping the show running for end users—whoever that may be in the public sector.

With so many little complexities allowing procurement to function as intended, engaging with your leadership, end users, and vendors makes the process so much smoother.

On this episode of Inside Public Procurement, we had the absolute pleasure of chatting with Dr. Avona McHoney, Contract Services Administrator for the Atlanta Public Schools’ Facility Services. We cover a lot in this discussion, but it all hinges on two themes: vendor relationships and procurement visibility.

We touch on:

  • How to strengthen your vendor relationships
  • Showing face in your organization and actively engaging with your end users
  • The importance of scheduling and time management for collaborative procurement
  • Effectively working as part of centralized procurement

And, perhaps most importantly, we answer the hotly debated question: is a hot dog a sandwich? Listen to the full conversation with Dr. Avona McHoney to hear her take on all of these topics and more.

You can find this interview, and many more, by subscribing to Inside Public Procurement on Apple Podcasts, on Spotify, or gobonfire.com/podcast.
