Procurement Leaders
Congratulations to ProcServe's Veera Johnson
Just a short note to pass on our congratulations to Veera Johnson, the charismatic chief executive of ProcServe, an electronic market place and trading platform company. ProcServe has partnered with the UK government to develop Zanzibar - a secure e-procurement system which the government hopes will achieve huge (think billions of pounds) of savings.
Johnson, has been named Asian Business Woman of the Year at the Asian Women of Achievement Awards, held at the London Park Lane Hilton.
Johnson, who I interviewed late last year, is a humble lady but the strides she has made this year in collaborating and winning the favour of the UK Treasury is impressive stuff.
As she says:
"All of this is great news for everyone at ProcServe, though I won't forget that at heart I'm just a girl from Preston!"
Cardiff and Vale University Health Board is delighted to have completed the pilot successfully on behalf of NHS Wales; and their knowledge and expertise over the last 10 years will further enhance and develop the xchangewales service. NHS Wales recognises the need more than ever for ‘technology to take the strain’ in delivering greater efficiencies and innovation through collaboration, best practice and more sourcing of goods and services nationally across the Public Sector in Wales.
