Sustainable public procurement (SPP) is the process whereby public sector organisations meet their needs for goods, services, works and utilities in a way that achieves value for money on a whole life basis in terms of generating benefits not only to the organisation, but also to society and the economy, whilst minimizing, and if possible, avoiding, damage to the environment.
These SPP Excel spreadsheet tools complement the SPP Toolkit and product guidelines and specifications for air conditioners and refrigerators.
The Toolkit spreadsheet tool is designed to help tenderers to make more informed decisions when comparing different bids. It provides information about the maximum energy consumption requirements for the SPP process and calculates the impact of a given bid in terms of both cost and emissions.
The Air Conditioner and Refrigerators spreadsheet tools are designed to help energy efficient procurers to meet and exceed the minimum requirements for the public procurement of energy-efficient and climate-friendly air conditioners and refrigeration appliances.
