LUPC aims to inspire a Responsible Procurement movement in partnership with our suppliers and members, across consortia and the broader public sector in the UK and globally. 

As we leverage change towards responsible procurement practices, we are mindful of our spheres of influence and control. 

We review our practices with regular external assessment against ISO20400, with the goal of maintaining our Leadership status.
