Key Aims of Public Procurement Practice
• Compliance with Regulations (EU Procurement)
• Best Value for Money (Whole Life Value)
– contracts not awarded solely on lowest price
– can take into account ESE objectives
• Open and Transparent Competitions
– comprehensive evaluation of tenders against predetermined quality and price criteria linked to subject matter
• Integration with wider Executive Policies
(e.g. Equality & Sustainable Development)

DFP Implementation Plan
• Energy Efficiency Action Plan for the office estate for energy efficiency/ carbon reduction
• Building Regulations (Part F) amendments in 2011, 2013 and 2016.
• Implement Energy Performance of Buildings Directive which requires new buildings occupied and owned by public authorities to be nearly zero carbon by 2018.
• CPD will develop model clauses on sustainable development, by September 2011, for inclusion in future public sector contracts as appropriate.

GCC Sustainability Action Plan - Adaptation
• CoPEs to take account of:
– OGC Guidance ‘Adapting your procurement’
– ‘Design for Future Climate’ (Technology
Strategy Board Document)

OGC - Adapting your Procurement
• Acknowledges that the impacts of climate
change will increasingly affect our built
environment, infrastructure and the public
services which we rely on.
• It is possible to adapt your procurement
within existing frameworks and procurement
rules – there is no legal reason not to and it
makes sense to
• reduce long-term risk from climate change to
a project.

OGC - Adapting your Procurement
• HM Treasury Green Book
Accounting for the Effects of
Climate Change.
• Adapting your procurement is
complementary to the Green Book
Supplementary Guidance
• So is also supplementary to

Guidance Note 8 – Sustainable & Durable Concrete
• Purpose is to assist Government Construction Clients,
Project Managers, and Client Advisors in the specification
and use of concrete. It aims to achieve:-
− The specification of durable concrete;
− Responsible sourcing of concrete constituents;
− Reducing carbon emissions of concrete in local
building and infrastructure projects; &
− To be relevant to the Northern Ireland market and
construction industry.
Jointly Developed by SCG and QPANI :-

NICS office estate
3.7% (3,444 MWH)
2. Capital investments in energy
efficiency measures and
equipment
1.5% (1,396 MWH)
3. Behavioural change in staff
occupying the NICS office estate
5.08% (4,728 MWh)
Total 10.2% (9,568 MWh)
27
28
1st Year Progress

• Voltage optimisation installed in 11 buildings
• 17 recommendations from CIBSE structured surveys
implemented
• Building energy management interfaces installed in 68
buildings
• Automatic meter reading (AMR) installed in 74 buildings
• Four Energy Awareness seminars have been held for
premises officers.
• Reporting data indicates a weather-corrected saving of
3.4% has been achieved.

RENEWABLE PILOT PROJECTS
• Summary of Findings
– Biomass Heating • Best suited where a stable, predictable load is required – not
particularly suited to office.
– Solar Thermal • Various technical difficulties experienced
• Did not prove cost effective
– Solar PV
• Large capital cost with poor payback; however,
• Proved to be highly reliable with low maintenance requirements therefore could be the most attractive option should capital costs reduce
