My role was to introduce the changes necessary to achieve level 3 of the Government’s flexible framework required under the “Procuring the Future” initiative.
In support of this I introduced a coordinated approach to Sustainable Development as well as an understanding of the benefits, a change in culture and alterations to processes / procedures which support Sustainable Procurement.
I established a business case which met business drivers and included cost and risk reductions, business development opportunities and satisfied a demanding customer’s requirement. To achieve this business unit buy-in was needed and an understanding of sustainability including the consideration of sustainable options and embedding this in the “business as usual” processes and decisions.
