3 8. Efficiency, effectiveness and economy (continued) Procurement Our procurement policies and procedures are reviewed and updated to promote the Scottish Government Procurement Journey. We participate in the Scottish Government Procurement Capability Assessment and have been assessed as Improved Performance. To increase efficiency and effectiveness in our tender process tenders are issued through Public Contracts Scotland tender module. This improves the tendering and evaluation stages of our contracting process. Over time, it is envisaged the service will improve the tender process for both buyers and suppliers by: Simplifying the contracting process; Introducing standardised processes and templates; Removing duplication of effort by storing key information in a dedicated user workspace; Enabling more efficient communication between buyers and bidders; Embedding a contract and supplier management module to better manage contracts once they are awarded In addition, we issue the standard public sector pre-qualification questionnaire to suppliers tendering for our business to enable businesses to familiarise themselves with public sector procurement processes and concentrate resources on quality aspects of their responses. At a corporate organisational level, the executive team is keen to optimise the performance of our approach to Responsible and Sustainable Procurement. The Scottish Government s sustainable procurement flexible framework self assessment tool has been completed to determine our current position and an action plan is being prepared to develop our corporate policy. The aim of the corporate policy is to support economic growth by delivering social and environmental benefits, supporting innovation and promoting public procurement process and systems which are transparent, streamlined, standardised, proportionate, fair and business friendly.
