Sustainability. 9.1. Sustainability is at the core of this Framework and delivery of EnPCs. Scottish Government is seeking to support the transition to a low carbon economy, as set out in the Government's Economic Strategy and contribute to Climate Change targets. The Climate Change (Scotland) Act 2009 sets legally binding targets in relation to greenhouse gas emissions reduction (42% by 2020, based on a 1990 baseline) and places various duties on public bodies. To support this there are linked ambitions; an energy efficiency target to reduce total final energy consumption in Scotland by 12% (against baseline of average consumption in 2005-07) and delivery of 11% of non-electrical heat demand by renewable sources.
9.2. Increasing sustainable economic growth is important if we are to create a more successful country, with opportunities for all of Scotland to flourish. Promoting the transition to a low carbon economy is seen as a strategic priority within this. The Scottish Sustainable Procurement Action Plan supports the Scottish Government's purpose for successful sustainable economic growth. National Outcomes have been established through the Concordat and Single Outcome Agreement and national environmental targets have been set by Climate Change legislation for Scotland, including the Act. Sustainable procurement promotes collaboration, best practice and best value across the public sector. Moreover, the Procurement Reform (Scotland) Xxx 0000 includes a sustainable procurement duty on public sector bodies.
9.3. Relevant to the above, it is envisaged that Framework Public Bodies will wish to focus on ensuring robust processes to not only ensure compliance with sustainability and environmental requirements but to go further in achieving sustainability outcomes through the performance of Call-off Contracts. Accordingly, the following are set out as relevant requirements and/or KPIs at Framework Level and it is expected may be developed (including potentially to expand upon) in mini-competitions conducted by Framework Public Bodies.

Sustainability. The County desires to further its commitment to sustainability through encouraging our vendors to adopt this business philosophy. Improving energy efficiency is a first step toward achieving sustainability in buildings and organizations. Energy efficiency helps control rising energy costs, reduces environmental footprints, and increases the value and competitiveness of the vendors. This means getting the most out of every single unit of energy, water, materials, and resources used in their business. Green concepts and practices the A-E should consider for the day-to-day operations include the following: Develop a plan for sustainability. Retrofitting current systems/buildings for increased energy efficiency. Selecting energy efficient products and technologies for buildings. Exploring renewable energy services, Understanding efficient water solutions. Reducing your organization’s carbon footprint. Utilize green suppliers/vendors. Attending energy efficient and sustainability events and associated programs. Recycling and resource recovery. Diversion and reuse. The A-E should consider sustainability for incorporation into their work product. Sustainability objectives should be identified by the A-E for use as a basis for its design. These sustainability objectives should then be reviewed by the A-E with OC Waste & Recycling for each individual project undertaking. Use of recycled products. Reuse on-site materials where available. Utilize green sub-A-E. Identify and utilize energy efficient products. Minimize use of raw materials/products. Establish a life cycle costing methodology for projects. Cost and value appropriately sustainability options.
