1. Background 1.1 The Council is obliged, under Section 18 of the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014, to prepare an annual procurement report on its regulated procurement activities as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each financial year. 1.2 The monitoring and reporting requirements for this annual procurement report follow the guidance provided by the Scottish Government, which includes a requirement to capture data which will support its overarching report on public procurement activity across Scotland. 1.3 In terms of this guidance, the Council’s Annual Procurement Report must, as a minimum, include: • a summary of all regulated procurements completed during the year; • a review of whether those procurements complied with the public bodies’ procurement strategy; • where any procurements did not comply a statement of how the public body intends to ensure future regulated procurements do comply; • a summary of community benefits that were fulfilled during the year; • a summary of any steps taken to facilitate involvement of supported businesses; • a summary of regulated procurements the public body expects to commence in the next two years; and • such other information as the Scottish Ministers may by order specify. 1.4 The Annual Procurement Report must be published and available on the internet and details of the publication of the Annual Procurement Report must be provided to the Scottish Government. 1.5 COVID-19 continues to have a significant impact on the Council’s procurement activity during the reporting period and has presented a number of challenges to the Council and its suppliers. 1.6 With the pandemic and the on-going conflict in Ukraine affecting the global economy and financial markets, many procurement projects were impacted to some degree. The Corporate Procurement Team worked closely with all service areas as part of the Councils coordinated response to this, and to support suppliers, to ensure vital front- line services could continue to be delivered. 2. Report 2.1 This is the Council’s fifth Annual Procurement Report and covers the period 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022. The Annual Procurement Report evaluates the extent to which regulated procurement activity was undertaken in accordance with Council’s published Procurement Strategy. Regulated procurement refers to any procurement above £50,000 for supplies and services and £2,000,000 for works in accordance with the terminology and thresholds as set by the relevant Scottish procurement regulations. 2.2 The Annual Procurement Report addresses the Councils statutory duties and its compliance with the objectives contained in its Procurement Strategy. An assessment of the extent to which the objectives have been met, reporting highlights, areas for further improvement and related performance measures are set out in the Annual Procurement Report which is provided as an appendix to this report.

This forms a separate report to this Committee today. 2.4 The Procurement Strategy is reviewed on an annual basis to reflect any changes arising from the Scottish Governments review of the regulatory framework governing Public Sector Procurement activity and any substantive change to the Procurement Strategy is reported to Council Committee on an annual basis. 3. Measures of success 3.1 The Procurement Strategy supports the delivery of Council service priorities and wider social, economic, and financial policy objectives. 4.

Introduction 1.1 North Lanarkshire Council (the Council) is a unitary authority, the fourth largest in Scotland, and is responsible for the delivery of a wide and diverse range of statutory and discretionary public services. 1.2 We deliver our services through a mixed economy acting as both a provider, through direct provision of services using our own workforce and assets, and an enabler with services delivered through private Providers, the Third Sector and Supported Businesses. 1.3 The Procurement Reform (Scotland) Act 2014 (the ‘Act’) requires us to prepare an annual procurement report on our Regulated Procurement activities as soon as reasonably practicable after the end of each financial year. 1.4 Accordingly, we are pleased to publish our fourth annual procurement report covering the period 1 April 2021 to 31 March 2022. As required under the Act, the content of this report includes; • a summary of all Regulated Procurements completed; • a review of whether those Regulated Procurements complied with our published Procurement Strategy and where Procurements did not comply a statement on how we intend to ensure future compliance; • a summary of any Community Benefit requirements incorporated as part of a Regulated Procurement that were fulfilled; • a summary of the steps we have taken to facilitate the involvement of Supported Businesses; and • a summary of Regulated Procurements we expect to commence in the next two financial years. 1.5 The COVID-19 pandemic and the conflict in Ukraine continues to have a huge impact on our procurement activity, and has presented a number of new and unexpected challenges to the Council and its supply chain. 1.6 With these points affecting the global economy and financial markets, many procurement projects were delayed to some degree. The Corporate Procurement Team worked closely with all service areas as part of the Councils coordinated response to this, and to support Providers, to ensure vital front-line services could continue to be delivered, often needing the Council to urgently purchase Supplies and Services not previously envisaged given the rapidly changing operational environment. 1.7 Our Procurement Strategy can be found at; Procurement Strategy 1.8 You can find out more about our procurement approach at; Procurement Information 1.9 The owner of our annual procurement report is Mr James McKinstry, Head of Asset and Procurement Solutions McKinstryJ@northlan.gov.uk

5 | P a g e 3. Summary of Regulated Procurement Activity 3.1 In total we completed 84 Regulated Procurements, the total value of the resultant contracts was £208,054,586.52. 253 unique Providers were awarded a contract. 3.2 Regulated Procurement refers to any Procurement above £50,000 for Supplies and Services and £2,000,000 for Works. A Regulated Procurement is completed when the contract award notice is published or where the contract award procedure otherwise comes to an end. Regulated Procurements can refer to new contracts and framework agreements but also to mini-competitions and call offs from existing framework agreements. 3.3 The Regulated Procurements we completed included projects supporting our ambitious capital investment programme of work, COVID 19 recovery and our business-as-usual activity. 3.4 A full list of the Regulated Procurements completed is provided as Appendix 1. 4. Review of Regulated Procurement Compliance 4.1 Our Procurement Strategy is published on our website, the Procurement Strategy is subject to regular review, the most recent review was approved by the Council in November 2021. Our Procurement Strategy details how we will take an innovative approach to Procurement and through our Procurement activity provide Social Value to local Communities and the wider Scottish economy. 4.2 Our Procurement Strategy also sets out how Regulated Procurement will be undertaken in compliance with the Act and in support of the Councils overall strategic priorities and ambitions. 4.3 Our Regulated Procurements are undertaken in accordance with a legal and procedural framework. Legal and procedural requirements are set out in our internal rules governing our procurement activity (General Contract Standing Orders) and supported by a comprehensive procurement toolkit containing templates and supporting documents which are aligned with the Scottish Government Procurement Journey. Our approach to Procurement requires that the entire Procurement process is documented and includes a number of review points. Procurement activity is also subject to internal and external audit. These combined processes ensure that Regulated Procurements are undertaken in compliance with our Procurement Strategy. 4.4 To allow us to have a clear understanding of our Procurement activity and performance against the objectives contained within our Procurement Strategy we have developed and report on performance measures. This will help us to measure and evaluate if the actions set out in our Procurement Strategy are being met, making a difference and to benchmark our procurement performance with others. 4.5 The impact of COVID-19 on the Council’s procurement activities has been significant and will continue to be so for the foreseeable future. As part of the Council’s response to the pandemic, much of the procurement focus has been on securing Supplies and Services, in extremely challenging market conditions, to ensure the delivery of essential services many of which are linked to the provision of services to our most vulnerable citizens. Because of the unexpected, but necessary, focus on supporting the Council’s COVID 19 response, a small number of the procurement performance measures contained in the annual procurement report have not followed the expected trend. It is anticipated that these measures will revert to the expected trend in the year ahead as focus returns to the delivery of the Procurement Strategy.

Despite the impact of the COVID pandemic, 87% of these performance indicators have been maintained or show improvement when compared with the previous reporting period. 4.7 Our performance for the wider objectives set out in our Procurement Strategy is provided in Appendix 3. Despite the impact of the COVID pandemic, 86% of these performance indicators have been maintained or show improvement when compared with the previous reporting period. 4.8 To support the successful delivery of our Procurement Strategy and to further improve our procurement capacity and capability, we develop and implement a Procurement Improvement Plan. Delivery of the Procurement Improvement Plan is overseen by a governance group made up of senior Council officers. 4.9 Key benefits delivered include: • review of our Procurement Strategy; • ongoing updates to process and procedures to comply with the requirements of the new procurement rules and regulations and other best practice; • increasing the time spent on strategic aspects of Procurement activities. • supporting achievement of the Council’s overall savings targets; • embedding the Council’s approach to Community Benefits and Sustainable Procurement into all relevant Regulated Procurements, delivering Social Value across a wider range of commodities; • transitioning to the Scottish Government Procurement Journey which helped standardise our procurement processes and procedures, reducing risk and duplication; • introduction of a corporate approach to Contract Management to ensure that contracts deliver the expected outcomes and that supplier performance is monitored; and managed; • building a stronger relationship between Category Managers and procuring service areas to undertake category reviews, develop Procurement Plans and to further develop procurement capacity and capability; • continued investment in learning and development, supporting staff in the Corporate Procurement Team and wider procurement network to acquire relevant training and qualifications; • ensuring SMEs are provided targeted opportunities as standard within our competitive quotation procedure for lower value procurements; • the fulfilment of our Procurement Plans and the introduction of our new Commercial Pipeline approach; • an established procurement ‘benefits tracker’ to track both commercial and non-commercial benefits secured from our Procurement activity; • establishment of a senior governance group who set and oversee the strategic priorities for Procurement and the successful delivery of our Procurement Strategy and Procurement Improvement Plan;
Page 12
7 | P a g e • supporting the Council’s DigitaNL work programme and the ongoing digitisation of Council Services through the delivery of ‘purchase to pay’ automation and process efficiencies; • implementing improvements to the wider North Lanarkshire digital infrastructure by undertaking a planned rollout of the Digital Scotland Superfast Broadband: and 4.10 Our review of the Regulated Procurements completed, progress with the implementation of our Procurement Improvement Plan and our performance against the measures set out in this annual report has allowed us to identify a number of further areas of improvement; • continue to work with the procurement network to embed the agreed approach to Community Benefits, Sustainable Procurement, Social Value and Contract Management consistently across the organisation; • further refine our approach to tracking and reporting benefits delivered from our Procurement activity; • adopt a more focused approach to the provision of procurement training and development; • develop and implement a new streamlined and standardised Corporate contracting toolkit; • develop and implement a revised scheme of Delegated Procurement Authority, linked to a training and development programme; • further expand our use of technology to support the ‘purchase to pay’ process; and • target further improvement in our PCIP assessment score, consolidating our place in the top performance band for public procurement in Scotland. 4.11 Planned improvement actions are included in our 2021/23 Procurement Improvement Plan. 5. Community Benefit Summary 5.1 The Act requires that we must consider whether to incorporate Community Benefit requirements as part of the Procurement when the estimated contract value is greater than or equal to £4 million. Community Benefits are a key objective of our Procurement Strategy and as such our internal rules for Procurement stipulate that Community Benefits must be considered for inclusion in all Procurements with an estimated value greater than £1millon, a considerably lower financial threshold than required by the Act. 5.2 We awarded 14 Regulated Contracts with a value of £4million or greater of which 100% contained Community Benefits. 5.3 We awarded 13 Regulated Contracts with a value of between £1million and £4million of which 100% contained Community Benefits. 5.4 We have introduced internal processes to ensure that Community Benefits are considered for inclusion in Regulated Procurements in line with the requirements of the Act and our internal rules for Procurement. Not all contracts, by virtue of their subject matter, are suitable for the inclusion of Community Benefits and/or a Fair Work Practices requirement.
Page 13
8 | P a g e 5.5 Community Benefit outcomes are monitored through our approach to Contract Management and recorded in our procurement benefits tracker. 5.6 Community Benefits outcomes are classified and captured over five themes; • targeted recruitment and employment; • targeted skills and training; • vocational training and qualifications; • supply chain development; and • community engagement. 5.7 As is to be expected, community benefits delivered in the reporting period have been lower as a result of COVID 19 lockdowns, including construction site closures and restrictions limiting workplace activities. 5.8 Appendix 4 provides details of Community Benefits outcomes delivered. 6. Supported Businesses Summary 6.1 The Council recognises the important role of Supported Business that support social and professional integration of disabled or disadvantaged persons and has continued to reserve contracts where appropriate to ensure the stepping-stone into mainstream employment for disabled or disadvantaged persons provided by these businesses continues. 6.2 The Act requires us to include a summary of any steps taken to facilitate the involvement of Supported Businesses in Regulated Procurements during the period year by the report. 6.3 Our internal procurement rules require that consideration be given to inclusion of Supported Businesses in all Regulated Procurements. The Council continues to refer to the register of Supported Businesses supplied by the Scottish Government to identify opportunities to engage with Supported Businesses. 6.4 We own, operate and actively promote a Supported Business, North Lanarkshire Industries (NLI). We have a number of agreements in place with NLI for a range of services including the provision of furniture, furniture refurbishment, document storage and the servicing of fire equipment. The combined value of these arrangements was £878,530. 6.5 We made 7 further contract awards to the following Supported Businesses; Provider Total Contract Value Angela Harvey Salon Training and Education £277,777 Scotland's Bravest Manufacturing Company £7,042 Aqua Specialist Environmental Services £202,833 6.6 Although consideration is given to the involvement of Supported Businesses, the Supplies, Services or Works associated with many Regulated Procurements are not generally provided by Supported Businesses. This restricts our ability to make a significant number of contract awards to a Supported Business.
Page 14
9 | P a g e 6.7 We also purchase a range of Supplies from Providers who have supply chain arrangements with Supported Business, whilst we don’t contract with these Supported Business direct, they benefit from our Procurement activity. 7. Future Regulated Procurements Summary 7.1 The Act requires that our annual procurement report must include “a summary of the Regulated Procurements that we expect to commence in the next two financial years.” 7.2 Over the next two years the Council will have a mix of recurring requirements and one-off projects to take to the market. Significant Procurements will include projects directly linked to the successful delivery of the Plan for North Lanarkshire and include major initiatives such as the Enterprise Project and Digital NL. 7.3 We expect to commence 216 Regulated Procurements in the next two financial years, the total estimated value of these procurements is £2,350,918,238. 7.4 A summary of the Regulated Procurements anticipated in the next two years is provided in Appendix 5.

31 | P a g e Appendix 6 – Glossary Commercial Pipeline – is an on-going record of current and programmed procurement requirements. Community Benefits – Community Benefits are requirements which deliver wider benefits in addition to the core purpose of a contract. These can relate to social, economic and environmental benefits. Contract Management – the tasks and activities which seek to ensure we receive what we have contracted to receive, at the price we contracted to receive it, taking account of agreed change and continuous improvement. Activity is focused from prior to the contract starting though to contract expiry and de-commissioning. It includes Provider relationship management and ensures that we meet our obligations under the contract. Delegated Procurement Authority – designation of officers who have the appropriate expertise and authority to procure Supplies, Works or Services on behalf of the Council. Fair Work Practices – is evaluation criteria within the Procurement that assesses tenderers approach to fair working practices, including paying the Real Living Wage, investment in workforce development, no inappropriate use of zero hours contracts, trade union membership and action to tackle the gender pay gap to create a more diverse and inclusive workplace. PCS – means the national public procurement portal, Public Contract Scotland portal, on which contract opportunities with the Scottish public sector are advertised. PCIP – is the Procurement & Commercial Improvement Programme (PCIP) assessment that provides a means of measuring and reporting on the procurement and commercial capability of public sector organisations through the provision of evidence, based around a series of set questions and other evaluation methods. Procurement – the tasks and decisions which secure an external Provider to provide what we want, at a price that we can afford. Activity is focused on the period from prior to advertising a tender to signing the contract. It includes both competitive tenders and circumstances where we negotiate with a single Provider. Procurement Plan – practical planning of the procurement, or group of similar procurements, including approach, resourcing and timetable. Provider – any organisation that provides Supplies, Works or Services to the Council or on behalf of the Council. Real Living Wage – The real Living Wage is an independently calculated rate based on the cost of living and is paid voluntarily by employers. The rate is currently £9.50 and is calculated each year in November by The Resolution Foundation on an analysis of the wage that employees need to earn in order to afford the basket of goods required for a decent standard of living. This basket of goods includes housing, childcare, transport and heating. The Real Living Wage is different to the UK government’s National Living Wage which is not calculated according to what employees need to live on. Living Wage accreditation formally recognises and celebrates employers who choose to go further than the government minimum,
Page 37
32 | P a g e recognising that a real Living Wage is good for business, good for workers and good for society The two key accreditation requirements are that all directly employed members of staff aged 18 and over must be paid at least the real Living Wage and, to the extent permitted by law, all regular contracted workers must be paid the real Living Wage. Regulated Procurements – Regulated Procurement refers to any Procurement above £50,000 for Supplies and Services and £2,000,000 for Works. Scottish Government Procurement Journey –provides guidance for public sector buyers who procure goods, services and care and support services. Services – services that we buy including specialist support for vulnerable children and adults, and also repairs and maintenance services, financial advice, designs and surveys for new building works. SME or Small and Medium Enterprises – firms that employ 9 or fewer staff (micro), and firms that employ 50 or fewer staff (small), and firms that employ 250 or fewer staff (medium). Social Value – the additional economic, social and environmental benefits that a contract achieves. Supplies – items that we buy, such as pens and paper, or plants and seeds, or fruit and vegetables. Sustainable Procurement – a process whereby organisations meet their needs for Supplies, Services and Works in a way that achieves value for money and generates benefits, not only for the organisation but also to wider society, the economy and the environment. Supplier Development Programme – a public sector organisation who offer expert training, support and information to helps Scottish based businesses develop and grow. Supported Business – an establishment where more than 50% of the workers are disabled persons who by reason of the nature or severity of their disability are unable to take up work in the open labour market. Third Sector – the group name for a range of organisations including community groups, charities, voluntary organisations, faith groups, social enterprises, community interest companies. Third sector organisations may be registered charities and may be registered companies. They include small, local groups and large multinational operations, and everything in between. Works – construction works that we buy, including construction of new buildings, or extensions, and creation and improvements to roads and bridges and open spaces.
