1. The Introduction of the Sustainable Procurement Tool
As part of the recent development of ASEMS, QSEP has been investigating embedding Sustainable Procurement (SP) principles more effectively within DE&S procurement activities. This has resulted in the introduction of a new SP Toolkit for Delivery Teams together with supporting guidance. The tool kit is intended to provide a proportionate and relevant approach for Delivery Teams to manage SP during the acquisition lifecycle.
Further details can be found in SEB 022 [1], and in the version control information at the end of each EMP. Covering the basic principals of the tool, a Quick Start Userguide has been published and is available here [2].
