creating communities to be proud of

Procurement at Shoreline is in a transition phase. Until recently procurement was entirely devolved to individual departments. As of May 2011, a new corporate procurement function has been established which is responsible for coordinating Shoreline’s approach to procurement. Individual departments remain ultimately responsible for taking their own procurement decisions. However, they are now required to engage with the procurement function and take account of its specialist advice.
A priority for the procurement team is to encourage the use of local suppliers within our supply chains. We also need to ensure that we achieve value for money and meet our legal obligations. Over the next 12-18 months we will be reviewing our procurement processes so that we can effectively balance these priorities.
