Additional services

Much more than framework agreements  

LUPC can provide additional, specialist procurement support to Members to help them get even better value from their procurement of goods and services.  As a “superior” professional buying organisation, run by its Members, for its Members on a non-profit basis, our consultants offer a range of services at very competitive rates, while drawing upon years of experience in industry, commerce and public service.

What we offer

Consultancy Service 

We offer a wide range of services, from developing procurement strategy and capability and performance improvement to supplementing existing resource to meet short-term and project-based needs.  Our consultants offer in-depth practical experience – not just management theory – to deliver savings directly to your bottom line.  

Whether you need to run a tender competition for cleaning or security services, develop your documentation to meet new EU requirements, or purchase a new concert hall organ, our consultants can deliver high-quality outcomes for you, and at low cost.

Shared Procurement Service - Ensemble Purchasing

LUPC Members are coming together to establish an innovative partnership solution offering a complete, longer-term, shared procurement service to participating full Members.  The Service will be of particular interest to our smaller Members, around 20 of which each have an annual procurement spend below £20m or less and have either very limited professional procurement resource, or none at all.
