This shake-up is putting pressure on local authorities to move quickly, particularly in areas such as technology procurement. The G-Cloud procurement framework has been named as a natural route for local councils to acquire technology within LGR, and it’s a great opportunity to showcase the value of procurement frameworks. They can span multi-supplier frameworks, single-supplier frameworks, Dynamic Purchasing Systems, Dynamic Markets, sector-specific frameworks and GPA frameworks, each with their own nuances and giving buyers a greater range of options that are more tailored to their specific needs. How frameworks benefit public and third-sector buyersFrameworks are particularly useful for smaller public bodies and third-sector organisations, who typically lack dedicated resources and procurement teams. This allows local councils to spend based on usage instead of being locked into lengthy fixed-term licences.
