North Ayrshire Council

A compulsory purchase order (CPO) can be made when an authority such as the Council needs to acquire land for purposes that are considered to be in the public interest, but where agreement for the acquisition of the property cannot be reached or the owner of the property cannot be traced. For example, a CPO may be used to bring empty homes back into use or to regenerate an area.

Sustainable procurement incorporates net benefits for both the buyer organisation and the wider world. They consider the impact of environmental, economic and social factors along with price and quality. This is important in terms of how buyers conduct relationships with suppliers, including contract negotiation especially when sourcing globally with unfamiliar work cultures.
