Procurement and Sourcing White Papers
Wakefield Metropolitan District Council - Engaging With Suppliers
Overview In 2003 Wakefield Council established a new corporate procurement team with a remit to take a strategic approach to procurement and directly contribute to the council's community strategy with a priority of developing a dynamic local economy. Following a series of workshops on 'Winning Council Business' for regional companies during January to March 2004 (undertaken as part of the West Yorkshire Procurement Partnership), feedback from companies was that Wakefield was difficult to do business with. An analysis of the creditors system identified that in 2003/04, 40% of approximately £135million spend went to a regional postcode. Comparative information from other large authorities suggested that the norm would be 50% to 60% spent regionally.
