By adopting sustainable procurement practices, governments can influence behavior on a large scale, including that of major (polluting) companies. This not only has a direct impact but also an indirect effect as companies extend their sustainable offerings to non-government entities (F. Schotanus, 2022).

In the past, various plans have been introduced for socially responsible procurement. However, concrete actions to move forward were often lacking. At the end of 2022, the Manifesto for Socially Responsible Contracting and Procurement (MVOI) was signed by many government agencies. The ‘O’ in (internal) ‘contracting’ precedes procurement. This is because as a government agency, you can only make a real impact when involving the entire organization at all levels, not just the procurement department.

But how can MVOI be translated into concrete actions and measurable objectives? And how can it be monitored to ensure that what is included in the action plan is actually achieved? These are questions we have the answer to: the MVOI Value Monitor. The MVOI Value Monitor enables you to translate complex policies into measurable results and real action!

The MVOI Value Monitor is an online dashboard that measures and monitors your MVOI policy. Using objectives developed by Supply Value, the most important indicators are defined and included in the dashboard in collaboration with you. This provides insights into the extent to which your MVOI policy is implemented and its resulting outcomes. In four steps, we help you translate MVOI policy into measurable objectives.
