You are here: Home Business Tenders and contracts Procurement - policy

Welcome To Wirral Sustainable Procurement Objectives Wirral Council is a major consumer of goods and services. We recognise that the goods and services we purchase will have an impact on the environment and human development both locally and globally. We aim to reflect our commitment to sustainable development and equality through the goods and services we purchase. The Strategic Procurement Objectives are outlined in full by the Procurement Strategy developed by the Corporate Procurement Unit (CPU) and approved by Cabinet on the 4th December 2003.

The CPU have developed a Sustainable Procurement Policy to address the objective to ‘promote procurement practices and policies which contribute to the Council's priorities on equality, sustainability and regeneration’ and is a key objective of the Corporate Procurement Unit (CPU). The Policy was endorsed by the Finance and Corporate Management Select Committee on 30 November 2004 and approved by Cabinet on the 15th December 2004. Sustainable Procurement Sustainable procurement should meet normal procurement imperatives (Best Value) but not by:•

Exploiting labour, working conditions and pay.

•

Undermining local cultures, values, practices and legal requirements.

•

Damaging future economic and social prosperity of the individual community, country, and future generations.

•

Exhausting or damaging natural resources, wildlife, habitat and bio-diversity.

•

Polluting air, land and water

The purpose of this policy is to help minimise impact on the environment by providing staff with information and practical help to assist them to buy or specify products that cause the lease environmental damage. It sets out Council policy on environmental purchasing and gives tips and advice on how to find products that will be effective, of value for money and do least harm to the environment. Wirral Council has a commitment to sustainable development, or as the Government recently put it ‘a better quality of life for everyone, now and for future generations to come’. This commitment is part of our response to the global action plan for sustainable development Agenda 21. It numbers us amongst thousands of local authorities throughout the world all playing their part. This guide aims to assist with the implementation of the procurement strategy. If we are to deliver best value services we need to take account of the wider implications of our purchasing decisions. The purchase price may only be a fraction of final cost to the council, or wider society, with a variety of impacts associated with the way goods and services are made, delivered, moved, used and disposed of. These include running costs, repair and disposal charges, along with indirect and hidden costs like traffic congestion and pollution. We all use goods and services on the Council’s behalf, or influence the specification of council purchases. Whilst your individual choices may not seem like much, they add up. Wirral Council already spends approximately £180 million each year and so has a potentially huge impact. The UK Government currently encourages Green procurement and in several European countries it is already mandatory in the public sector. Equality Wirral Council is committed to equality of opportunity for everyone regardless of his or her race, nationality, religious belief, gender, sexuality, disability, age, or marital status. We are committed to promoting equality and diversity, which embraces a broader definition than equal opportunities. This broader definition recognises that everyone has a contribution to make and that services can be improved by harnessing the skills and contributions from all sectors of the workforce and community. Equality issues relating specifically to procurement will be incorporated in this Sustainable Procurement Policy. Further details can be found in the ‘Equality and Diversity Statement’ recently adopted by Cabinet.

The Objective

16851 expediting-3.htm? Expediting

For important key procurement and production processes, delays or difficulties in delivery of materials, products or equipment can result in very expensive costs and displeased clients. As the schedule and pricing of projects continue to become increasingly critical, it becomes clear that expediting should be incorporated into the project planning at the onset to ensure compliance with the required delivery terms.

The Solution

153

Expediting can become quite complex when many subsuppliers are involved in the supply chain process. Therefore, the expediting should be carried out by experienced and professional field expediters who have sufficient understanding and experience to work with the suppliers in order to detect the areas causing problems and/or delays.
