WHAT'S CHANGING
| WHAT STAYS THE SAME
|
WHY THE CHANGE?
The Group is facing significant financial pressures. Early engagement with Procurement helps identify the right route to market and reduces the need for waivers. Where a waiver is required, it must demonstrate value for money and provide a clear, documented justification. A single Group process strengthens oversight, accountability and the audit trail, aligned with the Procurement Act 2023.
Use a waiver only where goods or services cannot be competitively sourced and there is a valid, documented justification.
