The public sector buyer faces competing priorities and pressures from inside and outside their organisations. The drive to control costs must be undertaken with an appreciation of the key legal and contractual risks.

Weightmans invite you to our training session looking at important and emerging legal themes of interest to buyers from across local authorities.

We will address:

• The principal learning points from cases we’ve been involved with and
other cases brought under the EU regime;
• What changes 2014 will bring;
• Changing providers & the data protection regime;
• Competition law for buyers;
• TUPE update;
• Freedom of Information review.


We will be particularly keen for you to share your experiences and approach with colleagues from across the sector so that experience is pooled and practice is improved.

• Telecoms operators on your premises - a refresher on the Code and the consultation as to their rights of security of tenure
