Public-sector procurement policies Some public-sector organisations are beginning to buy in goods and services to help them meet their wider aims. (For example, to boost the region’s economy or improve the steps they take towards environmental issues.) If this is the case, it may be worth looking into the ‘added value’ your bid may have to the buyer. If you can show that you have thought about the effect of your company’s involvement, and developed relevant policies, this may be looked upon favourably. Sustainability and environmental policies Issues of sustainability (giving everyone, now and in the future, a better quality of life) and the environment are seen as increasingly important when buying in goods.
