Office of Government Commerce

The Office of Government Commerce (OGC) was a UK government department responsible for improving the efficiency of public spending. It focused on procurement and supply chain management, providing guidance and best practices to help public sector organizations buy goods and services effectively. The OGC aimed to ensure value for money and promote sustainable practices in government purchasing. Though the OGC was dissolved in 2010, its principles continue to influence government procurement and commercial activities, helping to streamline processes and enhance accountability in how public funds are spent.
