Surrey County Council’s ability to unlock social value in procurement is admirable, and this is in no small part down to Cindy Nadesan, their Procurement Improvement Officer. In her own words she is ‘a catalyst for change, focused on linking people, systems and processes to increase value and create opportunities’.
We met with Cindy to find out the thinking behind her success.
“The suppliers are starting to think more about aligning what they are doing with the gaps that we have, and that cooperation is where the real magic of Social Value is.”
