Procurement

The public sector can save lots of money by improving how they buy goods and services. OGC supports this by encouraging new ways of working, advising on procurement regulations, building supplier relations and opening up government markets to competition.


Where are you from?

OGC's role is to provide procurement as well as programme & project support and guidance to public sector organisations. We recognise the differences between different parts of the public sector and summarise here useful guidance for each sector.


Programme and Project Management

OGC offers guidance to improve the way the public sector manages programmes and projects. Making them more successful will enhance the quality of new initiatives and make UK government organisations more effective and efficient.


The Efficiency Programme

The Government has targeted £21.5 billion efficiency gains a year by 2007-2008. OGC supports this proactively by measuring and reporting progress, and tackling issues, such as procurement efficiency, relocation and better use of public estates.
