"The Treasury is to launch a root-and-branch review of procurement throughout the public sector, amid ministers’ mounting frustration that many organisations are still not using their buying power to achieve efficiency savings. John Healey, financial secretary to the Treasury and the minister in charge of procurement policy, is setting up the review in a concerted effort to overcome the reluctance of many public bodies to co-ordinate their procurement functions."
