    About Us

    Epscot is an independent advisory and management consultancy firm founded by Jin Sahota and Alan Wain, who successfully designed, built, and operationalized the current NHS Supply Chain, being recognized by the Cabinet Office with "Best Commercial Programme of the Year 2019".

    Our unique capabilities in end-to-end Supply Chain management have enabled the delivery of tangible and sustainable benefits in Public Procurement, Supply Chain, Commercial and Operational Transformation. Along the journey, Epscot leadership has established strategic national level programmes to create resilient large-scale supply chains. Our solutions have:

    • Enabled organisations to showcase Social Value preparedness.
    • Assisted foreign governments to construct transformative supply chain journeys.
    • Created two parallel NHS supply chains to overcome challenges from COVID-19, and the UK's departure from the European Union.
    • Unified procurement landscape to unlock financial and clinical benefits for the NHS.

    Social Value is a reality that we cannot ignore. Since January 2021 it has helped support crucial government policies such as the build-back-better policy as it is administered by the Cabinet office itself. Plus it is pivotal in public procurement, for it unequivocally rewards suppliers who invest time and resources towards Social Value elements within their organisation, local communities, and down the supply chain.

    Social Value was a new model for us and understanding it was vital to effectively describe our strengths and identify any significant gaps. The Epscot Social Value team supported us through accelerated understanding and deployment of Social Value, translating very complex guidance into an easy-to-understand concept via their tools and templates.

    The importance of understanding our true impact in today’s world is crucial and Epscot helped us to achieve this, for which we are already realising benefits across the business.

    The UK government’s application of Social Value was a new model for us, understanding it was vital to effectively describe our strengths and determine our route map to achieving the ISO26000 standard. As well as being the right thing to do, the application of ISO26000 is increasingly viewed as a way of assessing an organisation’s commitment to its community and sustainability and its overall performance.

    Epscot assisted us all the way in this journey. Their Social Value team supported us through accelerated understanding and deployment of Social Value, translating this very complex guidance into an easy-to-understand ongoing working practice via their all-encompassing methodology. With their full engagement and help, we have achieved recognition of this standard quickly and we are now leading the way to new levels of social responsibility.
