The Procurement Bill 2022 can be the lever for change if we can ensure that it’s amended to legally enshrine environmental obligations onto the Public Sector to make environmentally friendly procurement decisions. As it stands, there are no environmental obligations, we’re actively encouraging procurement professionals, stakeholders and the wider community to sign the petition: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/621955
This will ensure that taxpayers’ money is spent in an environmental and climate friendly manner.
Petition: Amend the Procurement Bill to enshrine positive environmental obligations. The Procurement Bill should create a legal obligation on Contracting Authorities ensuring all specifications and contractors have a net positive impact upon the environment and that this requirement is designed into the procurement and management of public spend for all goods, services and works.
Climate Change and Global Tipping Points.
The below 3 minute video explains the context of 1.5C change and its importance.
The key points:
1. The rate of change in temperature in the last 70 years is unprecedented in the planets 4.5B year history
2. We are currently on track for approximately 3.0C change in temperature
3. This rate of change is already impacting several Global Tipping Points
4. If these Tipping Points are reached they could then further drive up rising temperatures outside of any further human intervention (positive or negative)
5. If we get to 4.5 / 5.0C change that threatens humankind on earth, so in that context 1.5C change seems far more critical and relevant number (ironically 1.5C on top of our current trajectory threatens human existence - and at the moment we are not managing or seem capable of keeping to the Paris target)
This context is incredibly important in how we view the actions we are taking today, the UK government priorities, and this why we have launched the petition around procurement . We clearly understand the various global and national challenges of Covid, war in Ukraine, Inflation and energy prices, however, to shift a global system requires consistency of focus, strategy, management and concerted action over decades, as well as dealing with current challenges, there are just no credible trade-offs here.
It is also not a credible solution to any short term challenge to contribute more emissions to climate change that really makes no sense when you consider these timelines.

Our CEO David Shields has created a UK Government & Parliament Petition with the purpose of ensuring the amend the Procurement Bill 2022 to enshrine environmental considerations as a legally binding part of future procurement activity.
The petition is important for all , commercial and supply chain professionals across the public and private sector. The public sector influences contractual requirements across millions of suppliers within the public sector and hence has a trickle-down impact across all procurement function and procurement professionals.
By enshrining environmental considerations into the Procurement Bill, we can ensure a fundamental and critical shift in behaviour and obligations for all parties involved within public sector procurement and public spend is used in a manner that contributes positively to and our goals.
Sign the petition: https://petition.parliament.uk/petitions/621955
We will be working collaboratively over the coming weeks, laying out why it makes sense, from strategy, policy, financial and economic standpoints and support the Governments existing commitments.
