Northampton, Kettering and Wellingborough District Council's - Procurement Joint Working Initiative
Overview In the report, Towards a National Strategy for Local Government Procurement, the Office of the Deputy Prime Minister (ODPM) and Local Government Association (LGA) - in response to the Byatt Review - recommended that all county and unitary authorities must incorporate a procurement function, and to be of comparable status with legal, personnel and accounting. Smaller district councils have, however, found it difficult to justify the employment of a procurement specialist, to lead on the full scope of procurement issues. The National Procurement Strategy for local government advocates that councils should procure and commission jointly and create shared services, especially where smaller councils have relatively less capacity to deal with procurement in a corporate way. This case study explains how three councils have collaborated in developing procurement capacity.
