WRAP and sustainable procurement
From April 1 2010 WRAP has increased its focus on sustainable procurement activity in the UK.
As part of our efforts to promote good sustainable procurement practice training resources are available, as well as evaluation tools. Other published guidance is available for organisations working towards sustainable public procurement.
WRAP is working with other organisations and groups with an interest in this issue. Our focus is to increase awareness and promote the behaviour change required by the public sector to meet the UK target for 50% of tenders to be ‘Green Compliant’ by the end of 2010.
We are also supporting the implementation of the Sustainable Procurement Task Force, established in May 2005 to bring about a step-change in sustainable public procurement in the UK.
Other organisations focusing on sustainable public procurement include:
