Green Procurement
Green Procurement Capacity Building
| Activity | Target as % (as reported in 2010–11 RPP) | Actual Results as % | Description/Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Training for Procurement and Materiel Management Staff | 100 | 100 | For the purpose of this exercise, "Staff" includes departmental employees of its Contracting and Procurement Unit exclusively. |
| Training for Acquisition Cardholders | 90 | 64 |
In 2010-11, Public Safety Canada did not receive the anticipated uptake for the "Green Procurement" course; as a result, all new acquisition cardholders are required to take the course prior to receiving the card. Individuals with legacy cards have until August 2011 to take the course or the card will be suspended The Department has taken steps to reinforce this process. In addition, Public Safety Canada recognizes that gaps exist with its current tracking system. The Department will continue to establish measures to ensure identified gaps are addressed to maintain data integrity (from the department Acquisition Card Log). |
| Performance Evaluations | N/A | 100 | All managers as well as functional heads of procurement and materiel management, incorporated environmental considerations into individual performance evaluations. This includes the development of a departmental Green Procurement Policy, the update of the departmental Sustainable Development Strategy, as well as the development of a training course on the proper usage of acquisition cards. |
| Procurement Processes and Controls | N/A | In 2010-11, the CPU scanned and sent contracts to clients electronically. This allowed clients to print only pages requiring signatures. In addition, the CPU used RDIMS as a means to provide clients with comments on Statements of Work electronically. This allowed clients to ensure appropriate information management of contracts; and that contracts were safe, secure and accessible as information resources of business value. |
