CPO forum – The Forum for Public Sector Chief Procurement Officers (CPO)
Local Partnerships are proud to host and attend the CPO forum in partnership with Oxygen Finance.
The CPO Advisory is an open and collaborative forum tackling the key issues facing senior public sector procurement professionals today. Chaired by public sector practitioners, and with a wealth of expert speakers, our events provide an invaluable opportunity to meet with your peers and benefit from their collective knowledge and shared experience. Procurement Leaders from across Local Government will explore key topics including Social Value, Workforce Development and AI in Procurement. The group reviews the challenges and opportunities shaping the future of Public Sector Procurement. Local Partnerships are hosting a workshop to design “what good looks like” for a Local Government procurement function – covering areas such as strategic vision, business engagement, commerciality, contract management, etc. Heads of Procurement will split out into break out groups to discuss and share their successes, challenges, and new ideas and then the group will collectively agree what the “ideal” function would be.Thursday 27 November 2025
