- It will increase the importance of key concepts like sustainable procurement, local procurement, green procurement and Social Value which support the Council’s main strategic objectives.
- The Action Plan will allow for measurable performance of procurement.
- The Action Plan will be a dynamic document, continually reviewed to make sure it is relevant, acknowledging that legislation and best practice develop over time.
