Table 4: Green Procurement


1. How is your department planning to meet the objectives of the Policy on Green Procurement?
  CSPS is doing the following:
  1. reviewing its training documents to ensure that clients are familiarized with the Green Procurement Policy;
  2. reviewing the Acquisition Card policy to ensure that clients buy more using an Acquisition card then using a purchase order or a contract;
  3. meeting with its clients to plan their yearly requirement.  This will allow for the consolidation of most of their requirements in order to reduce the number of contracts issued in a year through the issuance of Standing Offers and Contracts with option periods;
  4. reviewing its contracts in an attempt to reduce the number of pages to be printed and request that contracts be printed double-sided;
  5. reinforcing the purchase or rental of recycled and reused material when acquiring goods and services.
2. Has your department established green procurement targets? 
 

Yes

No

X In progress
3. Describe the green procurement targets that have been set by your department and indicate the associated benefits anticipated. 
  Specific targets will be set in the following year.  However, under the current actions, CSPS anticipates that above will result in a huge reduction of paper.
