The public sector must make transparent all aspects of spend
on the procurement of goods and services. Now, more than ever,
the public sector must work with suppliers to drive efficiency
savings whilst also developing and improving services. The
drive toward collaborative purchasing continues, and local
authorities in particular are already demonstrating significant
improvements to procurement practices through working with
purchasing consortia such as the Central Buying Consortium
to procure en masse across a group of member authorities.
As
more local authority spend is placed through framework agreements
with purchasing consortia, suppliers to this market are moving
to ensure that they are visible to each consortium and its
members.
About
The Central Buying Consortium
Recognised
as the largest purchasing consortium in the UK, the Central
Buying Consortium now represents 17 local authorities including
most of the major spending authorities outside London.

The
Central Buying Consortium continues to go from strength to
strength, working to increase savings in public expenditure
by improving procurement practices. This year’s annual
conference, ‘Procurement Centre Stage – Meeting
the Efficiency Challenge’, will bring together suppliers,
senior buyers and purchasing practitioners from within the
member councils and other areas of the public sector who have
an interest in developments within the organisation.
Why Exhibit?
For companies supplying or wishing to supply the UK public
sector market, trade exhibitions play a crucial role in business
development. In an industry where identifying key decision
makers and developing business relationships can be time-consuming
and expensive, trade shows offer a unique platform on which
suppliers and buyers can engage directly. The Central Buying
Consortium Annual Conference & Exhibition will provide
your organisation with the opportunity to promote your expertise
to the largest local government purchasing consortium in the
UK and meet with personnel representing the 17 member authorities.
