Developed in collaboration with leading event partners, LGPE 2026 will deliver a focused, content-led one-day event addressing the key priorities and challenges shaping local government procurement.

Led by senior procurement professionals, policy leaders and supply chain experts, the Skills Development Zones will provide a structured environment for learning, discussion and practical insight. Each zone is designed around a critical theme, giving delegates the opportunity to explore emerging trends, share perspectives and understand how buyers and suppliers can work more effectively together.

Through these sessions, LGPE 2026 will support the local government procurement community in driving better outcomes, adopting new approaches and responding to an evolving landscape.
