A core value of public procurement is the use of a fair, open, and  unbiased competitive process to award contracts. However, it's  impossible to eliminate all bias when we rely on humans, each with their  own unique experiences, knowledge, and background, for evaluating  options. In this session, speakers will discuss strategies for  addressing bias, ensuring that existing "knowledge" doesn't reduce  innovation, and  that vendors are evaluated on the merits of their  proposal. Attend this session to learn how procurement can leverage  lessons learned from behavioral science to make better decisions.
