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 Patient Identification 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 associated with that activity, prior to knowing which specific suppliers and value chains are going to be used. Based on that risk the following tools will be applied to the procurement to understand the specific risk in the proposed supply chains. ### Low Risk - Modern Slavery Assessment Tool Medium Risk - Modern Slavery Assessment Tool + Evidence Review High Risk - Modern Slavery Assessment Tool + Evidence Review + 3rd Party Audit This risk profiling has been conducted on Patient Identification products in the pre-market phase and has determined a medium risk. ### PPN 009 Tender Submission Requirements Confirmation (yes/no) that The Modern Slavery Assessment Tool has been completed - will form part of the Selection Questionnaire of the tender. Results will be evaluated to establish Supplier risk. Evidence Review on Modern Slavery - will be evaluated at tender submission. Results will be evaluated to 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. Risks are based on the 6 factors set out in PPN 009. 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. In addition, the NHS has adopted the Government's 'Taking Account of Carbon Reduction Plans' PPN006 requiring all suppliers with new contracts for goods, services and/or works irrespective of value to publish a carbon reduction plan for their direct emissions. Suppliers bidding on NHS Supply Chain tenders will also be required to submit an Evergreen Assessment.
