The public procurement landscape is constantly evolving, driven by technological advancements, legislative updates, and an increasing focus on efficiency and value for money. In addition, there is an increasing demand to develop more sustainable and ethical procurement measures to deliver Community Wealth Building (CWB).
NHSScotland’s new Procurement Strategy aims to deliver this by developing the health boards’ capabilities, including understanding and progressing sustainable and ethical ambitions, developing data analysis and reporting capabilities and skills, and maintaining compliance with procurement regulations.
Whats on?
