commissioning and procurement
Newham councillors are to receive training on commissioning and procurement as part of their 2026/27 development programme.
Newham councillors are scheduled to receive training on commissioning and procurement, the process by which public sector organisations purchase goods and services. This training is part of a comprehensive Member Induction and Development Programme for 2026/27, which aims to equip new councillors with essential skills.
The Newham Standards Committee discussed this programme in March 2026. The programme also supports returning members in mentoring their colleagues and covers various other topics, including safeguarding, data protection, and council finances.
