National Sustainable Procurement Catalogue 2007-08
This has been produced by ESPO (Eastern Shires Purchasing Organisation) in conjunction with G2L to assist public authorities in the UK to improve their sustainable procurement performance. The idea for the catalogue arose from the report of the Sustainable Procurement Task Force in 2006 and tries to bring together products related to some of the key commodity groups in that report. Further issues of the catalogue will deal with additional key commodities procured by the public sector that have a high sustainability impact.
The products in the catalogue have all been subjected to EU conform tenders and any public procurer in the UK can buy via the catalogue without the need for additional tendering.
The catalogue is available to view at:
