At a glance: The group has been set up to represent members operating in the local government market, and aims to identify areas of common interest in the local government sector and supplier community.

Meeting dates
Focus: established in April 2004, Socitm (the Society of Information Technology Management) is the professional association for ICT managers working in and for the public sector. The society fosters closer working and better understanding between the Local Government community and industry suppliers in the local government marketplace. Soctim’s activities range from quarterly briefings from key local government players (which involve organisations from supplier and local government communities), to smaller scale, non-commercial activities, such as joint lobbying. A Management Committee, which consists of Intellect and Socitm representatives, is responsible for taking forward the work of the Supplier Forum. http://www.socitm.gov.uk/
