CB025-001 Local Authority Procurement

"What we do know from FSB research, which is one of the advantages that we have as a National organisation, is that when we have asked the question of our Policy Officers in London they have demonstrated that there has been traction on good procurement for small and medium size businesses in areas that tend to be unitary. there has been an attempt in Leicestershire, I think, with the LEP where the isn't a unitary .......but the real successes seem to have come in the unitary areas." Chris Soule Chairman of the FSB in Suffolk

"......to try and take that model and get it transferred Nationally really needs a National program." Chris Soule Chairman of the FSB in Suffolk
