What is Sustainable Development?
Securing the Future, UK's Sustainable Development Strategy, HM Government 2005 …………
UK Government expectations
Procuring the Future: UK Action Plan• all Chief Executives held accountable • mandatory minimum environmental
standards • performance measured against the
Flexible Framework • investments and auditing based on
sustainable Long Term Value for Money rather than short term cost cutting
What is Sustainable Procurement?
Acquiring goods & services that:
Meet users needs
Deliver long term Value for Money
Maximise social and economic benefits
Minimise damage to the environment and health
UK Public Sector Spend£125 bn
Why buy sustainably?
Increasing costs• In 2004, NHS gas bills
rose 57%; Council energy bills rose £100m
• Landfill tax will continue to rise to £35/tonne
• EPC “Cap and Trade” will place cost on CO2 emissions
• Domestic water bills rise 19% over 5 years
Sustainable Products• Use less energy, water,
emissions and consumables
• Create less waste and easier to recycle
• Are less hazardous to use and dispose of
• Have a longer life (reusable vs disposable)
An investment of 1% of global GDP could avoid costs of 5-20%
NHS Carbon Reduction Strategy
The Department of Health published its sustainable development strategy on 7th October 2008 – “Taking the long term view: the Department of Health’s strategy for delivering sustainable development 2008-11”
Sir David Nicholson, NHS Chief Executive, launched the NHS Carbon Reduction Strategy in January 2009 – ‘Saving Carbon, Improving Health’
The SDU publication “Saving Carbon, Improving Health Update” updated in January 2010 referred to savings of £180 million per year
Taking the long term view: the Department of Health’s strategy for delivering sustainable development 2008-2011
These tell us to …
Producing a Board-approved Sustainable Development Management Plan (SDMP) containing a commitment to reduce each organisation’s 2007 carbon footprint by 10% by 2015;
Signing up to the Good Corporate Citizenship Assessment Model;
Monitoring, reviewing and reporting on carbon; and
Actively raising carbon awareness at every level of the organisation.
How does it all fit?
Hidden in most systems…..

Why bother?
The NHS is responsible for 18 million tonnes (Mt) of CO² each year, representing 25% of England’s public sector emissions:
Procurement 11.1 Mt CO² (60%) Building energy 4.1 Mt CO² (22%)
Travel 3.4 Mt CO² (18%)
Context• In 2008/09, the NHS expenditure was approximately £31.4bn(clinical and non-clinical supplies)• Non-pay pricing is a relatively low-impact way of reducing NHS cost (i.e. it does not require clinical service
reconfiguration, pay reduction, etc..)
What this workstream will do• Ensure that procurement is co-ordinated and optimised to get the best value for money for the NHS• Provide support to enable early realisation of financial benefits by NHS• Work with a broad base of stakeholders to create a functional and effective procurement landscape• Challenge systems and organisations to confront the more difficult and therefore potentially more valuable spend

Workstream ProcurementWorkstream Lead Philippa Slinger
Current situation• Local NHS organisations buy non-pay items through a range
of procurement routes – from nationally-leveraged contracts (OGC Buying Solution and NHS Supply Chain) to local, low-volume direct contracts with suppliers
• The chart on the right shows the breakdown of how this is spent. For example, only a relatively small proportion of buying (£1.46bn) is through the NHS Supply Chain route
