Become a Market Intelligence Superhero & Improve Procurement Outcomes!

Learn how to apply the 7 Market Intelligence Essentials Framework to improve your procurement outcomes

7MI First Cohort –
a Great Success!

For this first cohort, GovShop brought together a great group of professionals and leaders from across federal, state, local and international agencies. Participants included leaders from the U.S. Air Force, NSIN, Department of Defense, Defense Acquisition University, State of North Carolina, U.S. Navy, and many more.

Improve Your Procurement Outcomes

Learn leading commercial and public sector market intelligence practices and frameworks, all incorporated into Public Spend Forum’s “7 Economics and Market Intelligence Essentials”

7MI can be best described as a framework that incorporates fundamentals of how markets work and basics of economics. It is designed to be fact-based and analytical as opposed to “hunches” and collaborative with an emphasis on early on supplier engagement.

Our ultimate goal is to ensure the 7MI framework leads to requirements that aligned with the market, increased market transparency and lower information asymmetries, and lower barriers for suppliers so the best suppliers participate in opportunities.
