Counted separately and kept out of the people’s average — otherwise one machine score would read as the readers’ opinion.

STATE PURCHASING ORGANISATION (SPO) is the sort of body that exists to buy on behalf of a larger public system, usually through tenders, frameworks, and procurement rules. By our assessment, its value lies in order and process: it centralises purchasing, standardises paperwork, and gives buyers one place to deal with. The downside is familiar to anyone who has dealt with procurement bodies: the pace can be slow, the language formal, and the room for improvisation small. In practice it feels less like a shop and more like a gatekeeper for approved buying. It sits in the public-administration corner of the market, not in ordinary retail. That makes it useful where control matters, but not where speed or flexibility is the main need.
