Local Government Procurement Review
Each year local government spends approximately £80 billion on goods and services that are essential to the delivery of public services in local communities. Clearly, the local authority marketplace will be of significant interest to any potential supplier.
A key objective across local government is to ensure greater efficiency in the procurement process. If you feel that your organisation can offer the right service to local government, they should be made aware of this, and with their new spending initiatives, this market place has never been more attractive to the private sector.
Search Media has been producing The Local Government Procurement Review twice a year since 2002 with the assistance of a number of local and central government organisations in order to promote best practice to councils across England and Wales.
This essential document contains all of the relevant procurement guidance notes, together with case studies and examples of ‘best practice’ procedures that local authority specifiers and budget holders need access to.
