Procurement

When public sector organisations work together to buy goods and services, we can achieve better value for the taxpayer and release valuable resources to frontline public services. OGC helps develop collaborative contracts and ways of working that can be used to save time and money. We are rolling out a programme of procurement capability reviews, which will assess whether each department has the right procurement skills and capabilities they need. At the heart of procurement are the people involved, which is why we are reforming the Government Procurement Service to create a strong community of skilled professionals with consistent standards, better training, and appropriate rewards.
