Procurement

Welcome to the IDeA Knowledge procurement resource, which aims to provide you with easy access to the resources, contacts and services you need for procurement management. This resource has been designed specifically to meet the needs of the local government procurement community.

It contains a range of guidance, good practice and other information on all aspects of procurement. This includes a series of briefing papers on a range of procurement topics, case studies, as well as the latest government guidance on procurement. It also highlights the valuable lessons learnt from the IDeA's procurement-based work within local authorities.
