- Supporting Infrastructure
AiB aim to ensure the most efficient and best use of public funds, whilst mapping out the vision for the future of Procurement and Contract Management in AiB. The intention is to enable staff to work more effectively and efficiently towards the strategic aims of AiB whilst encouraging them to understand the impact they have on procurement on a day to day basis.
