Through Procurement
In 2008/09 the public sector spent around £220 billion on the procurement of goods and services. There is an increasing desire to see public sector spend being used to deliver wider policy objectives to achieve "Policy through Procurement" or PtP. There are a number of agendas that public procurement is expected to deliver, including environmental issues, removing barriers to SME participation in public procurement, fostering innovation and promoting equality of opportunity. Links to guidance on individual agendas can be found on this page.
OGC has published a Policy through Procurement action plan which sets out how Government will deliver these key priority policies.
The plan shows how procurement will be used to pursue economic growth through the three specific agendas of supporting small and medium-sized enterprises; encouraging apprenticeships, training and youth employment; and reducing carbon emissions. The plan also includes the announcement of a voluntary charter to be established between Government and key suppliers to further assist in delivering on these prioritised agendas.
