Working with Delivery Partners
Lesley Kippax, Director of Consulting Services
At V4, we know procurement isn’t just about buying goods, works, or services – it’s about creating real, measurable impact for communities.
Our work with clients sits at the intersection of procurement expertise, commercial strategy, and organisational transformation – helping leaders across local government, housing, and arms-length bodies deliver projects that are robust, transparent, and value-driven.
Partnering with Public Sector Leaders
V4 understand the pressures public sector leaders face – from budget constraints to complex governance requirements – and we work shoulder-to-shoulder with those driving change:
- Transformation Leaders – Designing procurement approaches that align with transformation goals, enabling service redesign and digital innovation.
- Heads of Procurement – Offering capacity, capability, and market insight to strengthen procurement functions and improve compliance.
- Directors of Finance – Providing commercial insights and rigorous spend analysis to deliver cashable savings and long-term financial resilience.
- Redevelopment & Construction Leads – Managing complex construction, regeneration, and NEC contract procurement to achieve quality, speed, and value.
- Leisure Leaders – Supporting the procurement of leisure management, sports, and cultural services that enrich communities and deliver operational sustainability.
Working Across the Public Sector Landscape
V4 clients span the public sector:
- Local Authorities – From district councils to combined authorities - delivering compliant, competitive, and outcome-focused procurement.
- The Housing Sector – Supporting housing associations and ALMOs with procurement that underpins capital programmes, maintenance services, and resident engagement.
- Arms-Length Bodies – Bringing specialist expertise to organisations that balance commercial freedom with public accountability.
Delivering Measurable Results
V4’s approach is built around clarity, transparency, and impact. Every project is designed to deliver results you can measure – whether it’s cost savings, improved service delivery, reduced procurement cycle times, or better supplier performance.
We combine:
- Market Intelligence – Knowing where the opportunities lie, from emerging suppliers to innovative contracting models.
- Robust Processes – Ensuring compliance with public procurement regulations while keeping timelines realistic and achievable.
- Commercial Insight – Structuring contracts that balance risk and reward, protect the public purse, and deliver tangible benefits.

Our role is to make procurement work for you, not against you – unlocking the full potential of strategic sourcing, supplier partnerships, and smart contracting.
