Our Buying Local Procurement Policy outlines how we will develop the match between what we buy in to deliver our services and the ability of the supply chain located in the Angus area to meet those needs.
To see the policy, use the link to view papers from before September 2014 on our Agendas, reports and minutes page.
Like all public bodies, we cannot discriminate for or against suppliers just because of where they are located.
The policy sets out how we will improve opportunities for Angus firms to do more business in the public sector by:
- identifying categories of spend where the Angus supply chain can meet our purchasing needs and offer us best value but currently don’t
- identifying barriers to Angus business engaging with us in these opportunity areas
- working with Angus business to address them in a way which remains fair to all businesses
This is a medium term approach for us linked in to our plans to review our procurement approach towards specialists applying best procurement practice to cross-cutting categories of spend.
