Sustainable procurement duty tools update
February 9, 2021 by Ray Knox No Comments | Category Scottish Procurement, Sustainable Procurement Tools
Following the launch of the sustainable procurement duty tools platform back in June, work has been ongoing to improve the platform in response to feedback, and produce further support for users:
- Users can now amend the title of their prioritisation tool and sustainability test themselves
- The format of summary exports from the platform has been improved
- A number of short videos have been published on using Sustainability Test. The videos can be accessed here
- Revised supporting guidance on Waste and Efficient Resource Consumption has been published, the guidance is available here
Coming soon
Work is underway to develop a Sustainability Test library area within the platform, this will enable the sharing of good examples of completed Sustainability Tests.
Climate Literacy eLearning is also being developed and will be available from the platform soon. We will keep you up-to-date on these through our usual channels.
For further information or to provide feedback please contact us at: scottishprocurement@gov.scot.
