Supplier Enablement

English Local Authorities – eProcurement and their suppliers

The UK Public sector is making great strides in the use of eProcurement and here is an interesting report (April 2006) based on a survey commissioned by NePP.

NePP is the National eProcurement Project.

Local Authority expenditure has an estimated outturn for expenditure on goods and service of £29,412,000,000 in 2005/6. Click here for source of this information.

If you are a supplier to local authorities it will inform you how, at a regional geographical level, local authorities are performing against the National Procurement Strategy.

The other reason you may, if you are a supplier, need to read this report (it is only 10 pages) is to understand how buyers are conducting their supplier analysis.

For example, one of the questions they ask is; Have you put in place any strategies to limit over-dependency among your SME suppliers?
