About the Sustainable Procurement category

This sub-category is for sharing tools, policies, and examples of sustainable procurement in research. Topics may include:

  • Embedding sustainability criteria in tenders and contracts

  • Contract management and supplier accountability

  • Procurement frameworks (e.g. UKUPC, HEPA, EAUC initiatives)

  • Whole-life costing, carbon, and social value considerations

  • Supplier scorecards, benchmarking, and case studies

This space complements Supplier Engagement, but focuses on institutional processes and governance of procurement and contracts.
