INVITATION
PURCO SA sponsors the full cost of the
second delegate from every PURCO SA
member institution
I encourage you to support and participate in the 2018 PURCO SA Conference and
Exhibition. The three day event and associated evening functions provide an unparalleled
opportunity to learn, connect with your higher education colleagues, engage with
suppliers, and have a little fun.
Our 2018 event has been enhanced to deliver value to each of our delegates, and to
facilitate maximimum engagement with the expected 300 or more higher education
professionals and suppliers who attend the event.
Our goal is to bring together bright minds to give inputs that are idea-focused, and on
a wide range of subjects related to the theme, to foster learning, inspiration and wonder
– and provoke conversations that matter. We have compiled a compelling programme
of keynote addresses, workshops and panel discussions in line with the 2018 theme of
PEOPLE, PLANET, PROFIT.
The event will make it easier for you to grow existing and build new relationships with our
community, while helping our higher education members to identify and engage with the
best suppliers for each of the commodities and services managed by PURCO SA.
We encourage you to use the opportunity to create a decisive advantage for your
institution and for you personally.

PEOPLE. PLANET. PROFIT
THE 2018 THEME
The 2018 PURCO SA Conference and Exhibition aims to challenge and
excite participants while delivering exceptional content, strengthening
relationships and providing a unique engagement platform for all
PEOPLE delegates and their suppliers.
The overarching threads of People, Planet and Profit will be brought
together to reflect the potential of building a better world, while
demonstrating that delivering finacial value and doing good can be
complementary parts of every institution and company’s strategy.
The triple bottom line programme will deliver implementable new ideas
and methods for increasing sustainability through economic prosperity,
environmental commitment and social fairness.
PEOPLE
The PURCO SA Annual Conference has a tradition of helping delegates
find renewed vigor to make a positive difference within their institutions.
The 2018 programme frames the conversation around sustainable people
relationships, with a positive impact on member-member and supplier-
buyer engagement.
The programme also explores ways in which delegates can incorporate
PLANET enterprise development in their organisations. It will encourage
conversations to unlock the full potential of buyers to be effective tools
for transformation - helping their supplier partners grow while ensuring
their institutions thrive.
PLANET
University procurement, if appropriately directed, has the potential
to facilitate social and environmental sustainability, while allowing
institutions to effectively meet their needs.
PURCO SA’s 2018 Conference will share practical case studies and
facilitate conversations to identify how universities and suppliers can
develop collaborative, sustainable, eco-friendly procurement processes.
PROFIT
Financial challenges are a significant consideration for higher education
institutions, and consequently their supplier partners.
PROFIT The concept of profitability encompasses financial sustainability for
higher educational institutions and improved bottom lines for their
supplier partners.
To help deliver these objectives, the Conference Programme is designed
to provide practical, implementable programme content while offering
extensive engagement between suppliers and buyers.
Among other topics the conference will consider how universities can
implement third stream income programmes, including initiatives that
complement their enterprise development and sustainability objectives.

09h40 Changing behaviour, risk and reward through shared value. Lessons from the Vitality programme.
Deon Kotze, Head of Research and Development, Discovery Health
Discovery’s Vitality programme has achieved global success in improving individual health outcomes while reducing
costs. Discovery learnt that people seldom make good choices when it comes to their health - they think in the short
term and discount the future. Recognising this, the Vitality programme incentivises people to make better choices
that make them healthier. Through a shared value approach that offers rewards and discounts to promote behaviour
changes, health outcomes have improved and healthcare costs have come down 25% for those engaged in the model.
Technology is a key enabler and the programme makes extensive use of data analytics to understand behaviour and
promote change. The objective of this presentation is to share lessons and insights from Vitality, so that delegates can
consider whether a shared value, incentivised approach in the higher education procurement sector could improve
purchasing outcomes for users while driving reductions in university procurement costs.
