## Description
How can we use technology to create the most efficient and secure supply chain
for public sector procurements, especially in regard to making the requirements,
standards and rules of public sector procurement as efficient to establish as
possible, both for the private sector businesses applying for contracts, and the
organisation assessing those applications; focusing on two initial use cases - cyber
security, design and accessibility.
Supply chains, integral to all organizations, pose a significant risk due to their size,
complexity, and the potential of severely disrupted services if compromised.
Currently, securing supply chains is resource-intensive and often requires manual
efforts from specialist staff which can cause issues - particularly for SMEs.
If we can build a single, effective and efficient system, we could dispense with the
current practice of creating single-use questionnaires for each and every
procurement exercise. This would have significant benefits including resource and
time savings, for both procuring and tendering organisations.
Currently, we do not have this: existing tools provide some data analysis, but
further solutions could enhance this process.
While cyber security and accessibility have been noted as the initial use cases, the
intention is that a successful solution would incorporate all procurement
requirements – for example accessibility, usability and design standards.
