Efficiency in government procurement of common goods and services

29 July 2024      Ashley Shelbrooke, HEPA and Project Specialist

The National Audit Office (NAO) have published a report on efficiency in government procurement of common goods and services, which may be of interest to members.

The report focuses on how common goods and services are purchased across the UK public sector, as well as if Crown Commercial Service (CCS) has achieved its objectives and what more it could do to secure greater efficiencies.

The report draws a number of conclusions, and in particular recommends that the government needs to address the profusion of framework agreements and support CCS to make improvements to its offer.

The full report is available on the NAO website here.
