Procurement

Procurement has been centralised since July 2006 and  great strides have already been made in cross-functional working throughout the Group. Members have established
strong collaborative working practices that have resulted in the production of joint specifications for contracts. This has produced larger volumes, which deliver better pricing and improved service and quality standards.

Our hope is that we can contribute to projects that arise from collaboration with tenants to improve and regenerate the areas where they live.
