Effective procurement governance is essential for ensuring transparency, compliance, and value for money within social housing. This session provides Board Members with a comprehensive understanding of the procurement landscape, equipping them with the knowledge to navigate key regulations, including the Treaty of Rome, EU Procurement Regulations, the Modern Slavery Act, and GDPR.
You will have insights into procurement policies, from thresholds and procedures to conflict-of-interest management, ensuring you can effectively scrutinise reports and data presented at Board meetings.
In this session, we will also address proportionality, focusing on the challenges faced by smaller housing associations and ALMOs while acknowledging the different regulatory environments in England, Scotland, and Wales. By the end, Board Members will be equipped to ask crucial questions, improve accountability and make informed decisions that ensure compliance and good governance.
