Combining national and international best practice, the City of London's new Local Purchasing Toolkit aims to help purchasing and supply professionals, other large company buyers, developers and contractors, or diversity and corporate responsibility professionals to understand and implement a local purchasing strategy.
Providing a set of guidance notes, templates and case study evidence, the toolkit covers how to develop the strategic fit, business case and benefits of local purchasing, how to define "local purchasing" and guidance on its practical implementation.
An extremely useful document for procurement professionals across the City, the guidance in this toolkit will help in developing a local purchasing strategy which provides tangible rewards for both City firms and the local economy.

The City of London Corporation are organising a 'Developing Local Supply Chains' event, taking place on 7th July, 6pm-8pm at The City Business Library. This event will help you to implement the techniques and practices set out in the toolkit. For more information, click here.
