Supplier Learning Session: GDPR Doesn’t Apply to Me, Does it?
Speakers:
Location: Convocation Hall
As public sector procurement continues to evolve, buyers are increasingly looking beyond declarations to understand how data protection and cyber security are applied in practice across the supply chain.
This supplier learning session is designed to help Constellia suppliers confidently evidence compliance, strengthen the controls they already have, and understand how Cyber Essentials is increasingly used by buyers as part of assurance during bidding, due diligence and contract delivery.
Led by Howard Freeman of Fortis DPC, the session explores how GDPR applies to suppliers, including to subcontractors, consultants, SMEs and specialist providers who may only handle limited or indirect personal data.
Through practical, real-world examples, this session helps suppliers understand GDPR in context, showing how it applies in everyday business operations and how good data protection practices can support successful bids, contracts, and client relationships.
Session Highlights:
Beyond Procurement Reform: Empowering SMEs
Speakers:
SMEs are the backbone of innovation and local economic growth, yet they continue to face barriers in accessing public sector procurement contracts.
With the Government’s National Procurement Policy Statement pushing for greater SME participation, how can procurement teams empower their supply chains to go further?
This will be the focus of a fireside chat at our Constellia Customer Summit on 26 February, when Simon Lydiard, former Programme Director for Contract Management Excellence and Small Business Champion at the Department for Transport, will join Constellia’s Chairman, Rob Levene and Steven Sinclair, Procurement & Commercial Director at NEPO to explore practical ways to unlock SME potential in the public sector.
With 38 years transforming government procurement, including growing DfT’s SME spend tenfold and advising on the Small Business, Enterprise and Employment Act 2015, Simon brings unmatched expertise to this critical conversation.

Speaker:
This session celebrates the individual recognised for their outstanding personal contribution to public sector procurement.

Public vs Private: The Big Procurement Debate
Speakers:
For the closing session of the day, delegates will gather in the Hoare Memorial Hall – the WW2 chamber of the House of Commons where Sir Winston Churchill once stood. The perfect atmospheric setting for a debate centred on scrutiny, challenge and strong viewpoints, brought to life with some light-hearted fun.
This session introduces the formal motion:
“This House believes that public sector procurement achieves best value for money for the taxpayer.”
Procurement leaders from both public and private sectors will debate the motion through structured rounds, quick fire questions and audience-led input. Delegates will take on the role of back benchers, showing support through real-time voting, well-timed ‘Hear, Hears!’ and the occasional raised eyebrow as the two teams set out their arguments.
An engaging and memorable way to end the day, blending history, insight and an engaging format designed to leave attendees energised.
…With debate teams going head-to-head, delegates may even spot a few playful references to match day spirit with the occasional yellow card and referee whistle too!
Please take a look at our programme below. All sessions will take place in Hoare Memorial Hall with networking breaks in the Assembly Hall.
