Fighting climate change

Fighting climate change

Our G-Cloud procurement consulting service supports customers in how to use fighting climate change evaluation criterion to access suppliers offers in the procurement process.

1) Influence climate change - as procurement experts we are in a unique position to influence stakeholders to weight evaluations toward solutions that fight climate change and lower carbon emissions.
2) We support clients in creating a Fighting Climate Change Procurement Strategy. For example, we share our expertise in how to refuse, reduce, reuse and repurpose items to avoid unnecessary purchases.
3) We advise clients on how to base their purchasing decisions on whole life costs. We advise on how to design a price plus life cycle cost procurement process, including question design and techniques and tools on how to complete supplier evaluations.
4) Introducing 'right to repair' procurement evaluation criteria into mini competitions - may lead to a more efficient use of existing resources, waste reduction and extended use of products.
5) Saving energy - we advise on the inclusion of energy efficiency criteria in procurement processes and supplier evaluations.
6) Increased awareness of climate change - we share our knowledge of ways to use purchasing decisions to fight climate change with clients.
7) We help our clients to structure their procurements to support environmental protection campaigns and recognise responses that amount to green washing.
8) We help our clients to consider the global impacts of suppliers who offset carbon emission with activities that may create new problems for the developing world.
9) We help our clients to understand how climate change, poverty and inequality are linked.
10) We help our clients to develop strategies to encourage suppliers (most capable of addressing the climate crisis) to invest in equitable solutions, and commit to tangible ambitious targets in the delivery of public sector procurement contracts.
