There is an ecological, moral, and legal imperative for government to use its public spend to deliver social value. Yet this is not without its challenges: it’s difficult to aggregate impacts across a policy area, there’s a lack of clear baselines, it requires deep supply chain relationships, and sustainability initiatives need to be put at the heart of delivery. There is a fantastic opportunity for the government commercial profession to build on the existing foundations to develop the culture, behaviours, and insights to maximise social value outcomes.
An update session for interested stakeholders on the progress of the Transforming Public Procurement programme including a summary of the bill, key proposals and the L&D that is planned to support contracting authorities and suppliers.
