Sustainable public procurement in Scotland aligns with Scotland\u2019s National Performance Framework (NPF) which, in turn aligns to the United Nations\u2019 Sustainable Development Goals. Scotland\u2019s performance is currently measured across 11 national outcomes. To create meaningful social impact from a contract, it is important to consider the social or national outcome that is to be delivered at the outset of the procurement.<\/p>\n

The outcomes and how public procurement can contribute to these are described in\u00a0Scottish Procurement Policy Note: Measuring social impact in public procurement (SPPN 10\/2020<\/a>)<\/strong>. This approach complements procurement principles of relevance and proportionality and Scottish legislation to rule out price only or cost only as the sole award criteria for public contracts.<\/p>\n

Scottish Government are undertaking a\u00a0statutory review of the NPF including a public consultation<\/a> asking people\u00a0if the\u00a0national\u00a0outcomes fully describe the kind of\u00a0Scotland\u00a0they\u00a0want to live in, and a\u00a0call for evidence<\/a>\u00a0asking whether the existing National Outcomes are the right ones.<\/p>\n

Procurement colleagues and stakeholders with an interest are encouraged to get involved. The consultation<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0call for evidence<\/a> are open from 14 March until 5 June 2023.<\/p>\n
