Brent Council Procurement

I went to some training about Council procurement yesterday, largely because the new Social Value Act could easily involve Councils in yet more legal action if we are not careful. However, it also threw up a number of interesting ideas about promoting the local economy. I have always suspected that many people have over optimistic expectations in this area, but there are still a number of things we can do. To make it work, we would need to look beyond the Borough boundaries.
