The LCE, in association with Hedra Plc, has produced a follow-on guidance to the London-wide Review of Contract Standing Orders containing a checklist of issues and including some model clauses that have now been introduced in authorities in London and beyond.

Some boroughs have already undertaken such reviews, however, it is important to keep matters under review as pursuing the shared services agenda and formalised collaborative working is presenting us all with new challenges in how we contract with suppliers and influence the markets in which they operate.

A copy of the guidance is now available to download.
