Certainly it would appear that the local supply agenda is one way in which bureaucratic systems act as barriers to sustainable procurement (Baden,Harwood, & Woodward, 2011; Preuss, 2009; Thomson & Jackson,2007). While Chan et al. (2012) suggest that reducing waste requires input from marketing to produce consistent, stable demand; however, where there is uncertainty, for example in Lee's (2002) example of Subway and its supplier market exchange system, different solutions are
needed.
