sustainable development through procurement policies

Papanagnou, C; Shchaveleva, N

Abstract

Public sector procurement has to operate under the pressure of policies and strict budgets. This paper examines the current perspectives of NHS Wales Shared Services Partnership (NWSSP) on sustainable procurement policies through the environmental, social and economic dimensions. In particular, it investigates the adoption levels of the sustainable procurement policies of buyers (NHS Wales), examines the level of engagement of SMEs to NHS Wales, and explores the support for the existing sustainable procurement function through order-processing analysis of catalogue coverage.
