Navigating Challenges in Joint Procurement: A Case Study by North Norfolk District Council

In a landscape marked by financial necessity, North Norfolk District Council and the Borough Council of Kings Lynn faced significant procurement challenges. With a joint procurement value of up to £130 million over eight years, they navigated the complexities of serving two distinct councils with varying needs: one rural, one urban. Through a competitive dialogue process, they secured a contract with Kier Street Services that not only delivered substantial savings but also fostered innovation and community pride. This case study explores the lessons learned and opportunities for future collaboration.
