Enhancing Public Sector Procurement: Insights and Recommendations from the Mark Luntley Review

In 2008, a comprehensive review of public sector procurement was conducted, led by Bill Roots and commissioned by John Healey. This assessment highlighted significant inefficiencies and aimed for a 60% improvement through smarter procurement practices. Key findings included a fragmented procurement landscape, skills shortages in some authorities, and the need for stronger leadership and support structures. Recommendations focus on establishing a national procurement champion, enhancing collaboration across sectors, and improving practices to engage small suppliers.
