On 16 July 2026 we hosted another instalment of our sustainable procurement webinar series, where we once again considered putting sustainable procurement into practice.
Following on from discussions of the planning and procuring phase in our previous webinar, we looked at the manage phase – putting the Procurement Act 2023 through its paces by considering how effective contract monitoring, the setting of impactful KPIs, and the use of modifications can drive further improvements and better deliver an organisation's social and environmental priorities.
Sustainable procurement is a mindset focused on the entire life cycle of a contract and the environmental and social impacts of purchasing activity.
The webinar covered in particular:
- How to set up KPIs on sustainability and to achieve effective monitoring.
- How to build sustainability measures and targets into contracts to achieve real-term impact.
- How to hold suppliers to account during the course of their contract.
- How to effectively and lawfully modify public contracts to incorporate sustainability improvements or priority changes.
