Informed Solutions is delighted to announce that its CEO, Elizabeth Vega, has been elected as the SME Vice-Chair for Intellect’s Public Sector Council (PSC).
In recent years, Elizabeth has been an active champion for SME engagement in the public sector and has worked for and with: multi-national corporations; national and public sector bodies; academia; and SMEs from start-ups to high performing mid-tier companies. Elizabeth believes her experience can make a real difference to how the PSC influences government and how members work together.
Elizabeth comments:
“I would like to start by sincerely thanking fellow Council members for electing me as their SME Vice-Chair. Working with the PSC and the other two newly elected Vice-Chairs, I hope to influence and encourage government’s efforts to work in new ways and engage with the full spectrum of suppliers available within the UK marketplace. Public sector services will benefit from access to new skills, talent and capability, and it will help government energise and innovate after what has been an extended period of institutional level restructure. Government working with and through SMEs will facilitate delivering the savings that the public purse needs, whilst also creating new employment and market opportunities for the UK economy. It’s a win-win scenario for government and business.
As the CEO of an organisation with a proven pedigree in delivering innovative, award-winning technology projects, I understand first-hand the key challenges both suppliers and government face in managing costs/value; successfully delivering against challenging requirements; and achieving this within sustainable business parameters.
Over the next 12 months, I hope to work with PSC to focus on encouraging suppliers of all sizes to become a collaborative, quality and value conscious community that strengthens government confidence in public sector IT.
Furthermore, I would like to work with the government to “rightsize”, simplify and make lean procurement, particularly in ways that support it in achieving the aspiration of 25% spend with SMEs. I have put forward a number of practical suggestions for how this can be achieved, which have gained traction within government over the last 2 years, and I would like to build on this work in collaboration with other PSC members.”
