- commitment to becoming a mature, intelligent client that maximises value in every commercial decision, supported by a clear capability-building pathway through our active plans
- recognition that commercial capability, and the responsibility to apply it, extends beyond commercial teams and is shared across the organisation
- proportionate approach that recognises the diversity of EA procurements – applying the principles of the strategic model flexibly to suit the scale, complexity, and context of each procurement
