Local government remains the most active and diverse area of public sector procurement, responsible for more than £82 billion in annual spend. Despite ongoing financial pressures, the demand for goods and services remains high, creating a competitive, dynamic marketplace that rewards innovation, value for money and collaborative partnerships.

Against the backdrop of the Procurement Act, a renewed focus on economic and social value and the UK government’s devolution and reorganisation plans, there has never been a more important time for procurement professionals and suppliers in the local government sector to come together.

LGPE 2025 provides a strategic forum for buyers and suppliers to engage directly, sharing insight, exploring opportunities and building solutions that address current and future challenges in local government. From housing and devolution to sustainability and AI, LGPE will support the critical discussions helping to shape the future of local public services.
