National Procurement Strategy

In the summer of 2000 the Local Government Minister and the chairman of the Local Government Association asked Sir Ian Byatt to chair an independent taskforce to review procurement processes in local government. The objective was to review the state of procurement skills and practice in local government in the light of the requirements of Part 1 (Best Value) of the Local Government Act 1999 and its objective of continuous improvement in the economy, efficiency and effectiveness of local services. The review culminated in the launch of the National Procurement Strategy in October 2003.
