Understanding Sustainability

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 public sector's drive to build a better; fairer and greener society. This Understanding Sustainability course explains what we mean by sustainability and social value in the context of public procurement; and will look at the challenges; solutions and available resources from the perspective of both buyers and suppliers.
