Improving lives and places through quality procurement solutions

Introduction

LHC Procurement Group (LHCPG) is a highly successful and reputable not-for-profit company that delivers procurement solutions to local authorities, social landlords, and other public sector bodies across the country.

From our beginnings as a procurement framework solution provider to help London boroughs access better construction solutions, we have grown to be one of the largest procurement framework solutions providers across the country. We offer a simple core service: we bring public sector buyers and suppliers together to build, refurbish, and maintain social housing and public property more efficiently. We offer cultivated frameworks and Dynamic Purchasing Systems (DPSs) for local authorities, social landlords, and all other public bodies.

 

Since our inception in 1966 and our establishment as a company limited by guarantee in 2023, we have continuously evolved to better serve our clients, positively impact the construction sector, and drive social value – a key feature of our not-for-profit status.

We truly understand the challenges of delivering development and effective asset management in this sector. We offer tailored solutions across England, Scotland, and Wales through brands that understand the nuances of each region. The composition of our Board of Directors includes representation from across the regions in which the company operates, contributing their expertise to understand the concerns of the areas we support.

At the heart of who we are is our culture. We support our team to grow and make their mark on how
we work.

 

We are now seeking an exceptional individual to lead the LHCPG Board as Non-Executive Chair, to support our ambitions for growth and to inspire our culture so that the company as a whole continues to flourish.

To enable this journey, the company must continue to be supported by a high-performing Board of Directors, who provide counsel, advice, and challenge to the executive team. An opportunity also exists to appoint two new Non-Executive Directors who will both offer a strong commercial background. In addition, one appointment will bring expertise in technology and digital transformation, helping to shape innovation and future readiness, while the other will offer a proven track record in business development, contributing to strategic growth and new market opportunities.

If you believe you have the experience and qualities we are seeking, we very much look forward to hearing from you.
