We aim to empower councils and local authorities to embrace innovative procurement practices, driving positive regional and national strategic outcomes by doing things better, cheaper, faster, greener and safer for public authorities through market innovation.
To achieve this, the Innovation Procurement Empowerment Centre (IPEC) offers guidance, resources, and support in navigating the how innovative solutions can support procurement barriers. Our services include access to best practices, training programmes, expert consultations, and networking opportunities designed to improve procurement strategies.
