This paper seeks approval from Cabinet to
adopt the West London Alliance (WLA) low carbon procurement policy.
This has been developed collaboratively between eight boroughs, and
is intended to present a unified, high-level expectation of
suppliers for council contracts on tackling the climate emergency
across the subregion.
An accompanying low-carbon charter (‘the charter’) with
suppliers has been developed for inclusion in all new tenders, and
for circulation to existing suppliers to encourage them to sign up
to the same principles. A low-carbon procurement toolkit
(‘the toolkit’) has also been developed to support
commissioning and procurement officers to adopt climate
considerations into all procurement.
