About
SWPA is part of the LHC Procurement Group, which has been supporting public sector organisations with technical procurement for over 50 years.
Working together to deliver better buildings, homes and communities.
The South West Procurement Alliance (SWPA) is the South West hub of the LHC Group, a not-for-profit central purchasing body who develop frameworks for public sector use. Established in 1966, we provide high quality, innovative frameworks and other procurement products, for public sector clients.
We support clients throughout the project lifecycle, from the procurement process, all the way through to the completion of projects, through our locally and centrally based technical and procurement resources.
Our frameworks and DPS have many locally based suppliers and contractors, who understand the specific characteristics of the local economy and environment and through being based in the region and employing local people they support the local economy.
We develop our framework offerings through local consultation with both clients and suppliers, to ensure that what is being provided is relevant for the local market. We work with current and prospective public sector clients from a wide range of organisations to define their specific requirements for construction, refurbishment and maintenance.
How we operate at SWPA is shaped by our values.
Our values, upholding excellence through:
- Integrity, Respect, Trust and Transparency
- Knowledge and Professional Experience
- Being Flexible, Adaptable and Creative
- Employing, developing and maintaining committed teams of happy and healthy employees
Members in each region have the opportunity to create and distribute a Community Benefit Fund. The fund is generated from the rebate members receive if they spend over a specified threshold on SWPA frameworks.
