Sustainable procurement
Collection of documents outlining how government procurement considers the environmental, economic and social factors related to the goods, services and construction it buys.
Suppliers who understand and can respond to government's sustainable purchasing requirements are better positioned to meet national and international standards and to compete globally.
To establish best value, Procurement evaluates bids on purchase price, life cycle cost considerations, environmental considerations, social considerations, delivery, servicing and the capacity of the bidder to meet other criteria as stated in the bid documents.
