Join this interactive webinar hosted by the Business Support Service at Liverpool City Council in collaboration with colleagues from Corporate Procurement Unit.

In 2025, LCC are developing a new Sustainable Procurement Strategy and are keen to engage with local SMEs to hear your views on how we can support SMEs and local businesses throughout the procurement process.

The Sustainable Procurement Strategy outlines Liverpool City Council’s (LCC) commitment to delivering efficient, effective, and ethical procurement practices that support the delivery of high-quality public services, achieve value for money, and contribute positively to our local community. Through the strategy we aim to deliver quality and value for money solutions whilst generating social, economic and environmental value for the communities we serve.

In this webinar, we will discuss the national context including the introduction of the Procurement Act 2023 as well as local Strategy priorities and what this means for SMEs and local businesses.

We will outline the thematic areas of the Strategy and outline our ambition to use procurement as an enabler for change across Liverpool:

1. Fairness and Equality

2. Environment

3. Society, Community & Economic

4. Compliance & Improved Service

5. Leadership

This event will conclude with an open Q&A session. We want to hear your views and so encourage participants to submit your questions either with your registration form or using the chat function during the event.

Places are limited - priority will be given to SMEs & businesses based in Liverpool, and those from the wider LCR area.
