Working together for change
Restructuring, automation and AI have fundamentally shifted how organisations view their workforce. They are not eliminating people, rather, they are highlighting the indispensable value of human capital in adapting to such changes. To succeed today, organisations must look beyond traditional corporate HR and focus on people performance across the entire procurement cycle and supply chain.
Under the Procurement Act 2023, social value, diversity, inclusion and sustainability now carry a mandatory minimum weighting of 10% in public procurement, with some organisations demanding 30%. How you manage your people is now a decisive factor in winning contracts, with failure to demonstrate robust human capital risk management and compliance not just underperforming; they're being eliminated from the tendering process entirely.
People risk is now procurement risk.
