We have published Scotland’s journey of achieving sustainable procurement outcomes 2002-2022: independent review.<\/a><\/p>\n

This significant Review was conducted by Harkins Research & Consultancy Ltd, a Scottish micro business, who undertook a literature review and conducted interviews with key stakeholders working in procurement across the UK.<\/p>\n

A clear research finding is the success of Scotland\u2019s journey of achieving sustainable procurement outcomes, driven by a strong passion and commitment across all sectors.<\/p>\n

The research indicated that Scotland has a long and effective history of supplier engagement and development, driven by a desire to support the local economy and maximise outcomes.<\/p>\n

Procurement and local spend is a key pillar of Community Wealth Building. To celebrate the links between sustainable procurement outcomes and community wealth, we will shortly be publishing a short video featuring Mr McKee and Mr Arthur in support of launching the Review. Following this video, later in March we will be sharing a second video featuring peers from across the public sector who contributed to the Review research consultation: Scottish Prison Service, Renfrewshire Council and LINK Group.<\/p>\n

Whilst this Review looks back at the past 20 years, we are always looking to the future to drive forward the power of procurement. Look out for the first-ever Public Procurement Strategy for Scotland being published later this year as a roadmap for the next 5 years.<\/p>\n

Find out more via the “Creating jobs through public spending” News Release on gov.scot<\/a><\/p>\n

Readers may be interested in contributing to the live Community Wealth Building consultation which is live until 25 April 2023<\/a>.<\/p>\n
