CTR Procurement policy

Purpose and scope
This policy governs the way CTR Services works with our suppliers – our vendors, business partners and third parties (including Sub-contractors). The policy applies to all employees who procure from suppliers, in all our operating countries.

Policy objectives
CTR Services is respected for, ‘When standards are not enough’. The way we manage our procurement and supply chain makes a huge difference to our profitability, our reputation and our success in meeting our sustainability objectives (see Sustainability Policy Statement). Using vendors, business partners and third parties gives us flexibility and is integral to the sustainable delivery of client commitments. The objectives of this policy are to:

• Make sure that suppliers comply with our supplier control procedures, our policies and other legal requirements (including health and safety, human rights and labour standards, and employment laws)(found in the sustainability policy statement);
• Identify the risks associated with using suppliers and manage these risks to an acceptable level;
• Ensure that the roles and responsibilities of suppliers are clearly defined and adhered to; and
• Ensure that the way we supply and develop our products and services reflects our sustainability objectives and those of our clients.

Our approach to procurement is based on four principles:
• We uphold ethical business practices and comply with all relevant legislation;
• We are an intelligent customer. We understand the risks and complexities of the services we procure and are able to respond to performance issues appropriately;
• We influence the priorities of our key suppliers so that they align with ours and those of our clients, to ensure a sustainable service to our clients; and
• We ensure diversity is embedded within our supply chain.

Requirements
Supplier selection: Appointment of suppliers must be based on their ability to perform as defined as well as taking into consideration social values, ethical practices and environmental impacts. This will be managed through our on boarding assurance procedure. Suppliers will be encouraged to monitor the sustainable credentials of their own suppliers, and assist those who require support. All terms must be agreed on an arms’ length basis;

Manage contracts: Contracts must address the key issues. These include defining vendor expectations, performance, scope of work, and deliverables. In particular, confirmation should be sought regarding understanding of and adherence to the following CTR Services policies: ethical trading practice, sustainability, people, information, compliance, physical asset management and health and safety. All contracts must protect our physical and intellectual property and data and, in the interests of transparency, include a right of audit;

Extend opportunities: Equal opportunities for small and medium sized businesses, minority owned businesses, social enterprises and the voluntary and community sector will be provided;

Manage subcontracting: Ensure that any right to subcontract included in the contract is bound by the same terms and conditions, and is expressly agreed and approved by the contract manager prior to commencement. Before subcontractors are appointed, a risk assessment must be carried out and mitigation measures put in place;

Ensure governance: There must be a defined governance structure in place to manage strategic and core suppliers; and

Monitor suppliers: Suppliers must be monitored to ensure that the supply chain risk is managed within our supplier control procedures.
