# [Local Government Procurement Index: where are local procurement budgets going?](https://www.tussell.com/gov/blog/local-government-procurement-index-where-are-local-procurement-budgets-going)

Local authorities spend billions of pounds each year on procurement. More and more, councils are trying to ensure these funds are targeted to promote *social value.*

But just how well are local authorities managing to do this? Which councils are leading the way?

Tussell's new [Local Government Procurement Index](https://www.tussell.com/gov/local-gov-procurement-index) lets you see exactly how much different councils in England have been procuring with SMEs, VCSEs and locally-based suppliers, and how this stacks up against the rest.

To access the Index, just enter a valid gov.uk email address [on this page](https://www.tussell.com/gov/local-gov-procurement-index), select the council you want to explore, and press submit. Easy as that!

We've also produced a report, analysing the Index's underlying data on local government social value spend. [The full report can be accessed - for free, by all - here](https://www.tussell.com/gov/local-gov-index-report).
