Environmentally Sustainable Procurement Policy and Tender Evaluation Weightings

 

That the relevant changes are made to the recommendations as shown below in strikethrough and bold italics:

Recommendations

2.1       That the Policy & Resources Committee approves the Environmentally Sustainable Procurement Policy set out at Annex 1 on behalf of BHCC.

2.2      That Policy & Resources Committee delegates authority for approving any future changes to the policy to comply with legislative changes, or to ensure alignment with other approved changes to procurement policies and practice to the Chief Finance Officer in consultation with the Procurement Advisory Board.

2.3       That Policy & Resources Committee approves setting a default minimum sub criterion weighting of 10% of the quality criteria for environmental sustainability, (with the expectation of a significantly higher percentage weighting in sectors where this can be easily achieved, such as catering and cleaning), and approves the recommendations at 3.14 and 3.15 below.

2.4       That Committee instructs officers to report back to Policy & Resources with a progress update in 18 months to outline what has been achieved.
