Leveraging the transformative power of procurement

Often overlooked, procurement is a powerful lever for systemic change, particularly within the public sector. As the nation’s largest collective buyer, the public sector holds an expansive influence over a wide array of suppliers. This influence is a catalyst for setting industry-wide standards and nurturing a network of suppliers that exemplify excellence and sustainability.

Our offering is crafted to provide the public sector with robust decision support, enabling a smooth transition to sustainable procurement practices. It is aligned with the Australian Government Sustainable Procurement Guide. Through our specialised consulting services and optional cutting-edge software-as-a-service platform, we equip public entities with the strategies and tools necessary to transform procurement into a force for sustainable and operational excellence. This can be done in a way to complement existing investments without a rip and replace.

We invite you to read our Procure To Sustain - Executive Brief. This brief unpacks the choice to change from conventional procurement to practices that underscore social responsibility, risk management, cost-effectiveness, and stakeholder engagement — all integral to solidifying public sector’s commitment to sustainable and responsible procurement.  The brief further elucidates how integrating sustainability into procurement decisions not only strengthens ties with stakeholders but also fortifies your organisation's competency, leading to innovation and ensuring enduring success within the supplier ecosystem.

Moreover, a change in Public Sector buying habits is a powerful way to influence suppliers to maintain environmentally and ethically responsible policies and practices in their operations. This shift not only reflects a commitment to sustainable progress but also sets a precedent for the entire business community to follow.
