The Strategy takes forward the recommendations of the collaborative procurement strand of the Treasury's Operational Efficiency Programme (OEP) (May 2009) and relates these to the circumstances and requirements of the Fire and Rescue Service. It also recognises that the procurement process can be used to great effect to drive improvement in skills and increase apprenticeships in a local area. Public sector procurement can also have a powerful role in developing and shaping markets, driving innovation and the demand for new technologies and skills.
