A survey on <\/strong>how the Sustainable Procurement Tools website could be improved is live.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n

The tools and supporting guidance have been designed to help Scottish public sector organisations identify and address how they can optimise the economic, social, and environmental outcomes of their procurement activity to bolster compliance with the sustainable procurement duty in the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014.<\/p>\n

We have continued to develop our Sustainable Procurement Tools website since their launch in June 2020, adding new products to complement the existing materials. Many of the developments over the last three years have happened thanks to feedback\u00a0from registered users of the website.<\/p>\n

We are asking registered users, or those with an interest\u00a0in sustainable public procurement, for their feedback to help inform how the website develops.<\/p>\n

The survey<\/a> can be found on the landing page<\/a> of the Sustainable Procurement Tools website. It will be open from Thursday 01 June 2023 and will close on Friday 30 June 2023.<\/p>\n
