Updated\u00a0Security and Crime guidance<\/a> is now live on the\u00a0Sustainable Procurement Tools<\/a>\u00a0website. This guidance relates to the procurement of products, services or works, where there may be risks regarding security and crime, including Serious Organised Crime (SOC) and Cybercrime.<\/p>\n

The sustainability test indicator for security and crime has been revised to make it clearer with a more streamlined assessment. The revised guidance reflects this change.<\/p>\n

This resource provides relevant procurement guidance, aligned with the Procurement Journey. It also contains an Annex of example contract clauses and key performance indicators.<\/p>\n

New, more user-friendly formatting means users can navigate easily between sections and can download the full guide into a Word document. This can be printed and shared with relevant stakeholders.<\/p>\n

The guidance compliments Worker Conditions Guidance<\/a> \u2013 which is concerned with human rights, working conditions and worker exploitation in the supply chain. These matters may be considered alongside one another.<\/p>\n
