Since the Local Government Procurement Taskforce, chaired by Sir Ian Byatt, published its hard-hitting recommendations in June 2001, procurement has shot up the national agenda. With the Government’s Efficiency Review putting enormous pressure on the value for money agenda, no-one working in local government – experienced or otherwise – can afford not to know what the latest thinking is, not least in the area of procurement partnering.



Procurement & Partnership: Doing it right, Making it work is an NLGN collection of essays providing a comprehensive examination of the procurement process. With wide-ranging contributions from key figures from within central and local government, and the public, private and voluntary sectors, it provides tools to enable those working in procurement to get the best out of the process and deliver better services to citizens up and down the country.



The report is the fifth publication in NLGN’s ‘Delivering Change’ series, which aims to help senior officers and elected members learn from practical evidence of change to respond positively to the local government modernisation agenda.
