National League of Cities (NLC): NLCU: Beyond Compliance – Collaborating with Procurement to Deliver for Residents
The National League of Cities (NLC) is hosting NLCU: Beyond Compliance – Collaborating with Procurement to Deliver for Residents on Wednesday, October 28th, from 2:00 PM to 3:00 PM.
Procurement is often seen as a bureaucratic hurdle that slows important projects down. But for cities that get it right, procurement is a strategic lever for delivering better services, advancing policy goals, supporting local businesses, and building public trust. Participants will leave with a grounded understanding of how public procurement works, as well as practical strategies for collaborating with procurement teams to navigate common friction points. Case examples from peer cities will illustrate how collaborative approaches have led to faster contract awards, stronger vendor competition, and improved project outcomes.
