New Climate statements have been added to the Single Procurement Document (SPD) standardised statements to help procurement professionals create environmental management related selection criteria, where relevant and proportionate to do so. For full details please click here.
As such, procurement professionals should consider including environmental management measures that require bidders to provide a climate change plan at the selection stage.
We have produced two Bidder Climate Change Plan Templates to allow buyers to ask for scalable, proportionate climate information from bidders. Click here to view climate change plan templates and completed examples.
The following table outlines how this should be evaluated:
