Manchester City Council spend is building local wealth
Today, new findings revealing where Manchester City Council spends its money will be presented by the Centre for Local Economic Strategies (CLES) during a Power of Procurement 2018, a local wealth building event at Manchester Central Library.
In 2016/17, Manchester City Council spent £445.6 million with its top 300 suppliers (by value of contract). CLES has analysed this procurement spend to establish where this money has gone and to understand its impact on the Manchester economy and residents. CLES has been working with Manchester City Council since 2008 to analyse its annual procurement spend and to improve its procurement process so that it addresses local need and brings greater benefits to Manchester’s residents and businesses.
