ProcureCo announced as an official event partner of Local Government Procurement Expo 2024
We’re delighted to announce that ProcureCo is an official event partner of this year’s Local Government Procurement Expo, a key public procurement event bringing together buyers and suppliers across local government. The partnership highlights ProcureCo’s role as an innovative digital platform facilitating direct communication between buyers and suppliers, empowering SMEs and other suppliers with knowledge and opportunities before they undertake the formal tender process.
Each year, the Local Government Procurement Expo (LGPE) brings together buyers, suppliers, and procurement leaders from across local government, offering a forum for organisations who are either engaged in, or who are looking to enter, the UK’s public procurement marketplace.
In the UK, local government procurement accounts for about £63 billion annually. This includes spending across various sectors, from construction and social care to tech services, contributing to nearly 40% of all public sector contracts. (Source: Institute for Local Government, Tussell)
“The diverse local government marketplace requires a vast range of goods and services, making it a desirable sector for any supplier looking to develop new business opportunities”

ProcureCo will be joining event hosts BiP Solutions, sponsors YPO, and other event partners including the Cabinet Office, NEPO, CIPS and Delta eSourcing at Novotel London West in Hammersmith, London on Tuesday 19 November (9:00am–4:00pm).

We’ve built ProcureCo to open up two-way communication between buyers and suppliers and to equip businesses to communicate, grow and succeed.”
