“Contractual arrangements allow us to better understand our suppliers’ business models and potential risks. This is done through a question set in the request for tender package and evaluation process. For our suppliers on purchase order terms and conditions the supply chain evolves quickly, and we need to be able to move rapidly to assess possible risks.”

“Stage 1 – data driven risk assessment: using spend data from FY2020 we conducted supplier screening using an external AI platform. Our products and service categories were mapped against the United Nations Standard Products and Services Codes (UNSPSC) and together with other databases utilised which provide for modern slavery analysis including social hotspots database (SHDB), supplier and country risk information identified potentially very high and high risk suppliers.”

“Stage 2 – desktop risk assessment:

― The desktop risk assessments were completed by procurement and consisted of the gathering of relevant information from each of the suppliers, including their modern slavery statement where one existed. Sources such as the APA Supplier prequalification system and the Global Slavery Index 2018 were used during this process to assess country risk.”
