The Transforming Public Procurement programme aims to improve the way public procurement is regulated in order to:
- Create a simpler and more flexible, commercial system that better meets our country’s needs while remaining compliant with our international obligations
- Open up public procurement to new entrants such as small businesses and social enterprises so that they can compete for and win more public contracts
- Embed transparency throughout the commercial lifecycle so that the spending of taxpayers’ money can be properly scrutinised.

Testimonials
I think this event is unique because of a real focus on local government. Local Government is huge, it spends a lot of money, but they also have some quite specific challenges and markets.

Lindsay Maguire
Deputy Director for Procurement Reform, Cabinet Office
The thing I’ve enjoyed most about LGPE so far is the panel debates. It was interesting to be able to talk to lots of different people.

Kingsley Clarke
Head of Southern Construction Framework (Southwest)
Events like LGPE are important for NEPO as it gives us the opportunity to network with the public sector counterparts that we work with. It also gives us the opportunity to really engage with our strategic partners that are in attendance as well.

Nick McDonald
Procurement Specialist, NEPO
The speakers have been really good,but just the opportunity to be able to have a wander around, speak to suppliers, speak to contracting authorities and exciting and hope for potential customers has been really worthwhile.

Michelle Walker
Head of Procurement, YPO
This is an opportunity to meet the supply side, but also the buyer side, the local authorities. And as a result, it creates an opportunity for engagement, good dialogue and some fantastic speakers creating more thought leadership.

Rikesh Shah
Head of Innovation Procurement Empowerment Centre, Connected Places Catapult
Events like LGPE are important for Cabinet Office to attend because we get to meet a wide range of stakeholders, both from the supplier market and across contracting authorities in local government.

Jen Pallister
Head of Commercial Implementation, Cabinet Office
Be fresh and ready to talk to a lot of people actually, because there’s a good footfall through this one in particular.
