Gayle Monk

Working with councils and other public, private and third-sector clients, Gayle is a legal director advising on both contractual and corporate matters. Her focus is on optimising social, economic and environmental impact through public spending.

With a focus on procurement, Gayle works with local authorities and social housing providers on their public procurement processes and the delivery of public services through contracts, joint ventures, and other vehicles.

Driven by a commitment to achieving social value and community benefits, Gayle advises on creating value through effective procurement strategies and contract management. From leading large-scale procurement processes to offering expert guidance on the compliant application of the Public Services (Social Value) Act 2012, her approach is both thorough and creative.

Gayle’s work includes overseeing the entire procurement lifecycle – drafting, negotiating, and finalising contracts for a range of public services, from waste and recycling to leisure, while also guiding the evaluation of tenders, specifications, and contract management.

With a fondness for upskilling those around her, training in procurement law, with a particular focus on social value, is a key part of her role, helping clients navigate the complexities of procurement regulations.
