Local Government is under ever increasing pressure to operate effectively and economically. The current Best Value regime means that both value for money and the imperative of continuously improving performance drive Authorities to ensure they procure goods and services in an effective manner.This new book interprets statutory Best Value requirements to provide a practical guide for Authority Members and staff as to the right way to choose a procurement strategy.
