The Local Government Association (LGA) is the national membership body for councils in England, working on their behalf to champion and be the voice of local government, ensuring it has the resources, powers and support to deliver the best possible outcomes. We are a politically led, cross-party organisation, providing advice, support and services to all local authorities in England and Wales – including non-member councils and combined authorities – on critical issues such as procurement, social care, housing, and climate change. While headquartered in London, we have a local footprint, regional presence, and national reach, with staff located and working around the country. Effective procurement, underpinned by commissioning, has never been more important for local government. Increasing demand for public services and decreasing resources are driving councils to improve productivity and efficiency to deliver better outcomes for local people. Our procurement and commissioning programme encourages councils to benchmark in line with the UK Government’s National Procurement Policy Statement, enabling local government procurement to demonstrate how they achieve best value for their communities.
