Its aim is to support and advise local authorities throughout England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland on all purchasing and supply matters of national or general interest, and to represent its members on other bodies to promote the Society and its aims.Through membership of SOPO, procurement officers join together to share best practice and influence the national agenda on how "Best Value" is to be achieved.
