LLG Eastern Regional Meeting - 8th October 2025

Join us for the next online gathering for all Eastern region members as your host, Emma Duncan - LLG's Eastern Director welcomes guest speaker Alex Lawrence from Anthony Collins to speak about LGR.

Navigating the practical realities - LGR, public procurement and contracts

This session will be delivered by Alex Lawrence, Legal Director at Anthony Collins.  Alex will discuss:

  • how existing and shadow authorities can work together to facilitate ongoing procurement activity and contract management in the period up to vesting day in the context of there being a section 24 direction;
  • catering for the future change in contracting authority – including where vesting day will occur mid process, changes to service delivery (disaggregation/aggregation) and in drafting the contract;
  • engaging with current and future contractors on what is going to happen; and
  • planning for post-vesting day contract management.

This meeting will take place on Zoom and is FREE for members to attend. Book now to secure your place.
