A Supply Chain Code of Conduct, tied to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals, applies to every supplier. Contracts above the advertising threshold follow the Procurement Act 2023 and its regulations, in force since February 2025. The procurement team takes supplier and contract queries directly by email.
