Debate: Procurement

That the Parliament believes that the procurement of goods, services and construction projects by the Scottish Government and the wider public sector should provide value for money, ensure that good employment practices are followed, have a supply chain that is anchored in Scotland and provide opportunities for businesses and jobs; regrets that the Scottish Government has failed to achieve these objectives, and believes that an urgent review of procurement, including employment practice and the operation of the Scottish Futures Trust, is required.
