Walking the Talk
Work-stream 4, walking the talk, was led by Robin Gourlay. A significant part of this workstream concerned public sector food procurement in Scotland become an exemplar for sustainable economic growth in terms of quality, health and wellbeing, affordability and sustainability.
Robin was behind the East Ayrshire Council project that has shown how, by implementing the guidelines produced by the Scottish Government, local suppliers can compete successfully for public sector food contracts.
Robin worked with a group of producers, processors, the hospitality sector, who are signed up to our direction of travel, and public sector procurement specialists to inform guidance to Scotland's public sector on becoming an exemplar for sustainable growth in Scotland.
The resulting report was published on 26 June 2009
