The landscape of local government is changing. In November 2025, many councils will submit local government reorganisation (LGR) proposals to government. As suppliers, your role in supporting councils through this critical transition is more important than ever. Join us to explore ways to successfully navigate the upcoming digital and technology changes brought about by LGR.

Join us for a focused supplier briefing event and practical workshop exploring the digital and technology aspects of LGR.

The session will focus on:

Welcome and introduction

techUK & Jonathan Stephenson, CEO Brentwood Borough Council and Rochford District Council

Understanding the national digital context

LGA Speaker

National work on market reform

MHCLG Local Digital Speaker

Increasing understanding of the LGR cyber, digital, data and technology journey

Council Speaker

Workshop to explore the role of suppliers

Learning from suppliers attending the event about their LGR (or relevant merger/shared services) experiences and insight

Event Wrap up & Closure

 

This event offers a key opportunity for techUK members to hear directly from sector leaders. Attendees will gain insights into the challenges council face and explore how to collaborate more effectively during this period of change. This learning will help to inform guidance being produced for suppliers on LGR.
