As local authorities and public sector organisations continue to tackle the twin challenges of delivering essential services and driving long-term economic and environmental impact, the role of procurement as a strategic enabler has never been more important.
This free webinar, brought to you in association with Tracker Intelligence and hosted in the build-up to the Local Government Procurement Expo (LGPE), will feature exclusive insights from George Stevens, Director of Communities at LHC Procurement Group. A leading voice in socially responsible procurement, George will explore how public procurement can be used as a powerful catalyst for social value creation, net zero achievement, and place-based regeneration.
With growing emphasis on the Procurement Act’s focus on the Most Advantageous Tender (MAT) principle, buyers are increasingly prioritising wider outcomes such as community benefit, sustainability, and local growth. This session will look at how these priorities are being implemented in practice and what suppliers can do to align their strategies with the changing expectations of public sector buyers.
Drawing on LHC’s extensive experience in supporting local authorities, housing providers, and public bodies across the UK, this webinar will provide suppliers with practical guidance on embedding social value and sustainability into their bids, understanding the local impact agenda, and contributing to the regeneration and prosperity of the communities they serve.
Whether you are a current supplier to the public sector or looking to enter the market, this session will help you understand how to make your organisation stand out as a socially and environmentally conscious partner of choice.
