3. LGCCG (What) To focus on social care procurement and commissioning activity across Local Government, in order to identify opportunities for collaborative working, whether that is sharing best practice and knowledge/experiences or co- ordinating procurement activities To act as a conduit to representative stakeholder groups e.g. ADASS and to other bodies such as Pro5, DfE and to facilitate sharing of ideas and initiatives To facilitate and enable consultation and engagement with representative groups where collaborative initiatives are proposed, to ensure there is an ‘intelligent client’ To include all areas of expenditure managed by Adult Social Care and Children & Young People Services departments (but excluding schools) To recognise the successful work of the predecessor group (the Local Government Professional Services Group (LGPSG)) and adopt similar approaches and principles in generating guidance relating to key procurement and commissioning matters To understand both the customer and supplier marketplaces in order to recognise potential beneficial collaborative procurement opportunities

4. LGCCG (How) By designing a range of mechanisms to engage with stakeholder groups, to bring together the customers’ requirements and the most appropriate delivery vehicle. By using these mechanisms to engage with stakeholder groups to identify their needs. By reflecting on needs and identifying opportunities for collaborative working, with consideration given to local, regional and national dynamics By maintaining strong formal links with the Pro5 Social Care category team and providing support to the PBO (or other body) establishing the procurement solution. By sharing knowledge and signposting bodies to the relevant sources of information, in order to enhance understanding within the sector, and to avoid duplication of effort and inefficient use of resources.
