Part A: Green Procurement Capacity Building
Activity | 2008-09 Level as % |
2010-11 Target as % |
Description/Comments |
---|---|---|---|
1a. Training for Procurement and Materiel Management Staff | No targets set | In progress | Currently, only designated Materiel and Contracting Specialists have undertaken the online Green Procurement Course that is available through Campus Direct. It is the intention of the Department to encourage other departmental buyers, that is, those with Low Dollar Value (LDV) authority, to take the course as well. The Department is currently embarking on a new framework for LDV procurement that will centralize all such purchasing in one Finance organization. The expected full implementation is 2011. This will make it easier to ensure that all employees making purchases for the Department are trained in green procurement. |
1b. Training for Acquisition Cardholders | No targets set | In progress | With the centralization of all LDV procurement in the future, it will be easy to ensure that acquisition card holders (greatly reduced in number as a result of centralization) have green procurement training. |
2. Performance Evaluations | No targets set | In progress | The majority of services contracts awarded by the Department are for professional services. There are few green considerations when planning a contract for professional services (e.g., studies, audits, training). However, these considerations do come into play for the procurement of goods such as vehicles and photocopiers. Both of these procurements have strict green requirements that buyers must respect. Fleet life cycle management and criteria are available online (Intranet) for all fleet managers to consult. |
3. Procurement Processes and Controls | No targets set | In progress |
