Watch the replay of our CMPP Supplier Negotiations webinar

Learning from experience in working with a range of councils, this webinar brings to life the guidance we have recently published on CMPP Supplier Negotiations. This was presented by two Senior Strategic Directors at Local Partnerships, David Crowe and Simon Bandy, who looked at preparing the right environment for negotiations, the key principles and areas of best practice.

Contract negotiation is not just an activity for those with a direct contract management role. It is likely to involve a range of senior officers within any authority depending on the size and importance of the contract. Supplier negotiation is therefore a capability that will need to be identified and supported in both corporate and service delivery teams.
