Local authorities spend billions of pounds each year on procurement. More and more, councils are trying to ensure these funds are targeted to promote social value.

But just how well are local authorities managing to do this? Which councils are leading the way?

Tussell's new Local Government Procurement Index lets you see exactly how much different councils in England have been procuring with SMEs, VCSEs and locally-based suppliers, and how this stacks up against the rest.

To access the Index, just enter a valid gov.uk email address on this page, select the council you want to explore, and press submit. Easy as that!
