Waste - prevention/reuse/ recondition/ remanufacture Are there opportunities to prevent waste/ extend products' (procured separately or used within service delivery) useful life, through reuse, repair, reconditioning or remanufacturing, internally or externally?

8. www.sustainableprocurement.eu.com Behind the headlines Fairly and Ethically Traded Fairly and Ethically traded - Working conditions Are there potential risks relating to working conditions and labour standards within the supply chain related to the delivery of a related service or products AND/OR are there potential opportunities to improve labour standards by working with the market? Fairly and Ethically traded - Conflict Minerals Are there potential risks regarding human rights abuses as a result of the use of minerals that are mined in areas of conflict AND/OR are there opportunities to ensure that these are verified as conflict free?

10. www.sustainableprocurement.eu.com  Suppliers control and manage many key impacts  Importance of selecting suppliers able to address sustainability  Many major life cycle impacts are found in the manufacturing and logistics stage and suppliers’ own procurement. Supply Chain Risks & Opportunities

11. www.sustainableprocurement.eu.com Life Cycle Impacts Impacts of obtaining raw materialsImpacts of manufacturing & logistics Impacts during use of product/serviceImpacts at end-of-life / disposal

12. www.sustainableprocurement.eu.com Impacts of obtaining raw materials Sourcing overseas if demand outstrips supply – impact on carbon emissions Wood should be sourced from legal, sustainable forests/woodlands – forest management critical Potential impact on biodiversity of forests/ woodlands if focus is only on economic viability Support development of an immature supply chain through aggregated demand Opportunities for community woodland schemes to be integral to supply chain Impacts of manufacturing & logistics Carbon emissions from transportation, particularly if local supply chains are inadequate Production of chips/pellets – is renewable energy used Sourcing overseas if demand outstrips supply – impact on carbon emissions Competition for raw materials e.g. chipboard manufacturers Waste products from pellet manufacturing process Impacts during use of product/service Emissions particularly in ‘Air Quality Management Areas’ Shortage of qualified engineers/installers; through aggregated demand an opportunity to influence recruitment and training Disposal of waste products e.g. ash Impacts at end-of-life / disposal Disposal of ash – use as a fertiliser Disposal of boilers

20. www.sustainableprocurement.eu.com  The Contractor will be expected to maintain security of supply through appropriate and comprehensive supply chain management of risks, which are reasonably within their control, and which may arise due to availability of components, environmental, social or other relevant factors.  the Contractor will be required to demonstrate how they assess the likelihood of conflict minerals within products, and what measures they have undertaken to minimise and eliminate, where practical, such minerals. The Contractor will be required to comply with any new and emerging legislation and/or self-certification system.  The Contractor will be expected to have a comprehensive system which demonstrates an on-going and systematic approach to identifying and managing risks relating to labour standards, working conditions and use of child labour in the supply chains relevant to the Framework Agreement. Relevant requirements
