COVID-19 could continue to affect global supply chains<\/h2>\n
The Coronavirus outbreak has affected supply chains across the world.<\/p>\n
The pandemic has had a significant impact on businesses across all continents as many suppliers are struggling to meet their contractual obligations, putting their financial viability, ability to retain staff, and their supply chains at risk.<\/p>\n
As many countries have experienced \u201clockdowns\u201d, many businesses have had to close. If suppliers could not obtain the right equipment and supplies from their supply chain, both the procurement process and work on existing contracts came to a halt.<\/p>\n
Many countries are now back in lockdown. Whether your organisation is working with domestic or international suppliers, it is crucial that it balances auditing practice with relationship management, something which supplier management software can support your organisation to achieve.<\/p>\n
Not only will supplier relationship management software support your employees to discipline your organisation\u2019s processes, but this software will also help your procurement team to strategically plan and manage interactions with suppliers.<\/p>\n

Social and economic value and environmental benefits will continue to be of huge importance<\/h2>\n
While the fundamental aim of public procurement is to buy goods, works and services for the public sector, the reality has become increasingly complex. The public sector is regularly exhorted to greater efficiency, while the years of austerity saw large areas of the sector experience significant budget reductions. These factors have led to an ever-increasing desire for greater value for money, and for procurement to achieve more than merely purchasing.<\/p>\n
As part of the quest for value for money, for every pound spent to do the greatest good and achieve the maximum possible return, public procurement has come to be seen and used as a vehicle through which other goals can be achieved, including social value, economic benefit, and environmental targets. All these are important aspects of the local and central government and the wider public sector\u2019s drive to build a better, fairer, and greener society.<\/p>\n
These aspects of public procurement are likely to assume even greater importance. The government is proposing to publish a National Procurement Policy Statement which will set out new priorities for procurement, one of which is social value, including delivering social, economic and environmental outcomes.<\/p>\n
One of the challenges when seeking to apply social, economic, and environmental value to public procurement is that its inclusion often makes procurement exercises more subjective, and as challenges to procurement exercises are often on the more subjective elements, it becomes more important to create a clear audit trail.<\/p>\n
Using Delta, you can create and record your audit trail, facilitating reporting and placing your organisation in a more legally defensible position.<\/p>\n
