Free legal seminar programme for NHS LPP members
New: free legal seminar programme for NHS LPP members We’re pleased to offer NHS LPP members free access to a wider programme of legal seminars delivered by our alliance partner, NHS North of England Commercial Procurement Collaborative (NOE CPC).
This programme complements our established quarterly Procurement Legal Surgeries with Hempsons, which will continue as usual and remain focused on NHS and public sector procurement law. The next Procurement Legal Surgery will take place on 16 September 10am - 12pm. Please hold this time in your calendar and further information, including an invitation to register will be available towards the end of August.
The NOE CPC legal seminar programme offers additional value by covering a broader range of legal topics, delivered by a variety of legal providers. Topics extend beyond procurement and include areas such as employment law, GDPR and data protection, and wider commercial and governance issues. This enhanced offer reflects our ongoing commitment to working with alliance partners to add value for members and provide practical, relevant support across a wider legal landscape.
What this means for NHS LPP members:
- Access to a broader legal knowledge offer, at no cost
- Insight from multiple specialist legal providers, not just procurement-focused
- Support for a wider range of organisational challenges, beyond procurement activity
As registration for these sessions will be processed via NOE CPC, we would like to reiterate to NHS LPP members that NOE CPC will not store any information for marketing purposes. Your information will be shared for webinar logistical requirements and to and to inform future engagement exercises and how to improve the quality of the webinars.

Please ensure you hold the time in your diary and a calendar invitation including the live link will be sent a few days before the webinar is due to take place.
