We adhere to the Procurement Act 2023 and the Public Contracts Regulations 2015, making sure that everything we do is fair, transparent, and delivers real value for money. We seek to deliver cost reductions and efficiencies that balance commercial and social purpose, and harness innovation. Our commitment is to optimise the impact of the money we invest to deliver wider social benefits to our communities: providing opportunities for people to enhance their social and economic well-being. We believe in reducing the environmental impact of our supply chain, and building strong, positive relationships with our suppliers.
We seek to ensure that our Group values run right through our supply chain so our customers receive a consistently excellent service. Our customers help shape our procurement; service standards and specifications.
We have established a Dynamic Purchasing System (DPS) increasing the accessibility of opportunities for SME’s. Our current DPS is live and will remain open until 23 February 2029.
