In response to member demand, we are establishing a Senior Procurement Professionals Network. This group is intended for senior staff across the LUPC membership - such as category managers, procurement managers, and deputy heads. Please note that it is not designed for those leading the procurement function, as we already hold a monthly Heads of Procurement meeting for that audience.

Our first meeting will take place on 3 February, 11:00-12:00, led by LUPC Director Don Bowman. During this session, we will outline the purpose and structure of the network, discuss the proposed meeting frequency, and explore the group’s objectives. We will also provide an update on current contracting activity at LUPC and across UKUPC, highlight procurement hot topics, and address subjects selected by delegates.

If you have specific topics you would like to discuss with your peers, please include them when registering for the meeting.

For any queries, please contact Don Bowman.
