Government Office For Science
Details
Rapid projects support government departments to understand the scientific evidence underpinning a policy issue or area by convening academic, industry and government experts at a single roundtable. The summary meeting notes seek to provide accessible science advice for policymakers. They represent the combined views of roundtable participants, and are not statements of government policy.
This note summarises an expert roundtable held in July 2023 covering the main factors that drive APB, how it can influence critical supply chain vulnerabilities, and what data sources/methodologies could be used to identify APB. Adaptive purchasing behaviours refers to sudden increases in the buying of goods or services, provoked by an adverse situation.
