Updated Carbon and Energy Consumption Guidance<\/strong> is now live on the Sustainable Procurement Tools website<\/a>. The guidance is concerned with the procurement of energy-using equipment or the use of energy in the delivery of a service that is being procured. The aim being to minimise or, where practicable, avoid carbon emissions.<\/p>\n

The resource provides relevant procurement guidance, aligned with the Procurement Journey and includes an Annex of example contract clauses<\/strong> and key performance indicators. <\/strong><\/p>\n

New, more user-friendly formatting means users can navigate easily between sections and can download the full guide<\/strong> into a Word document which can be printed and shared with relevant key stakeholders.<\/p>\n

This guidance may be considered, where relevant, alongside socio-economic and other Climate Change guides \u2013 Carbon in Production<\/a> – Vehicle emissions<\/a> \u2013 Climate Change Adaptation<\/a> which we are in the process of updating. Further information on the re-launch of these materials to follow.\u2019<\/p>\n
