PPN 009 'Tackling Modern Slavery in Government Supply Chains' In February 2025 PPN 009 "Tackling Modern Slavery in Government Supply Chains" was published. This PPN specifically calls out the NHS as being in scope. The PPN requires the risk of Modern Slavery to be identified for each Procurement activity, and appropriate due diligence conducted to manage these risks. Risk Profiling and Methodology Each NHS Supply Chain procurement, including the forthcoming procurement for Medical Pulp & Associated Products 2027 has been assessed, using a standard methodology. The methodology has been developed using a database of risk, mapped to E-class codes. This has been mapped to the procurement activity to assess the level of risk, prior to knowing which specific suppliers and value chains are going to be used. This risk profiling has been conducted on Medical Pulp & Associated Products in the pre-market phase and has been determined a Medium risk category. Based on that risk the following tools will be applied to the procurement to understand the specific risk in the proposed supply chains. Medium Risk: Modern Slavery Assessment Tool + Evidence Review The Pre Market Engagement Notice pre-positions the supply base of the tools we will apply in the tender to manage that risk. These requirements will be evaluated as part of the tender submission and the results used to assess the level of risk in the Suppliers Value Chain ahead of any award. PPN 009 Tender Submission Requirements Confirmation (yes/no) that The Modern Slavery Assessment Tool has been completed - will form part of the Procurement Specific Questionnaire of the tender. Results will be evaluated to establish Supplier risk. Evidence Review on Modern Slavery - will be evaluated at tender submission to also establish Supplier risk. Actions for Suppliers/Potential Suppliers to take now in the Pre-Market Stage Ensure you have completed the Modern Slavery Assessment Tool (MSAT), you have a plan in place to act on the recommendations it makes, and you maintain the assessment annually. The Modern Slavery Assessment Tool (MSAT) can be accessed via the following link https://supplierregistration.cabinetoffice.gov.uk/msat The NHS has adopted PPN002 (taking account of Social Value), and therefore this future Framework Agreement will require suppliers to state what is their Social Value proposition which in turn will be made available to customers who utilise the Framework Agreement to aid their decision making when using the framework.
