Procurement teams are under more pressure than ever. Budgets are shrinking. Accountability is rising. And delivery expectations from stakeholders are as ambitious as ever. Against this backdrop, the new Procurement Act demands a fresh mindset: a move from MEAT (Most Economically Advantageous Tender) to MAT (Most Advantageous Tender).
That shift means procurement can no longer be judged purely on price, it must deliver compliance, value, social impact, and performance outcomes that can withstand scrutiny.
But how do you make that happen in practice? And how do you embed those principles from the very first step of the process without this affecting your resource?
This webinar took attendees on a journey through procurement, showing how a more strategic approach in each stage can deliver better value for money, manage risk, and build stronger outcomes for the public sector.
