2.3 Local Authorities currently account for almost half of all Competitive Dialogue OJEU notices published in the United Kingdom. Our research has shown that there are few Local Authorities with repeat experience of Competitive Dialogue procurements and those that do have little evidence of knowledge sharing between delivery teams.
2.4 One Local Authority demonstrating best practice in this area is Leeds City Council. With a central strategic delivery unit Leeds are supporting and sharing best practice between sectors and hold regular 'lessons learned' sessions to ensure continuous improvement in the way Competitive Dialogue is undertaken.
