Green Procurement
Part A: Green Procurement Capacity Building
| Activity | 2008-09 Level as % |
2010-11 Target as % |
Description/Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1a. Training for Procurement and Materiel Management (MM) Staff | 0 | 100 | Training of procurement and MM staff commenced in 2009-10 and will be completed in 2010-11 using the Canada School of Public Service (CSPS) on-line C215 course. |
| 1b. Training for Acquisition Cardholders | 0 | 50 | Cardholders will be encouraged to take the CSPS C215 course. Given that NRC has 400 cardholders, we may have to deliver a different training program. |
| 2. Performance Evaluations | 0 | 50 | The majority of procurement/MM supervisory positions are in regions across Canada reporting to various business units. At NRC all such supervisory positions will be evaluated, and we expect many of the regional positions to also be done. |
| 3. Procurement Processes and Controls | 0 | N/A | Instead of quantitative targets, NRC will report on progress and plans to improve integration of environmental considerations in procurement decision making. Specifically, a) Budget Managers, who approve purchase requisitions, will be educated in Green Procurement; b) The NRC Engineering Office, which determines the specifications for renovation and building projects, will continue to build and expand environmental considerations into their projects; c) Green Procurement consideration will be added to the Contract Review Committee's template; and d) Procurement Planning is being developed at NRC and will include environmental considerations in the process. |
Part B: Use of Green Consolidated Procurement Instruments
| Good/Service | 2008-09 Level |
2010-11 Target as % |
Description/Comments | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $ | % | |||
| All commodities with Green Procurement considerations in Public Works and Government Services Canada (PWGSC) Standing Offers | 0 | 0 | 75 | Green Procurement was not measurable in 2008-09. However, NRC extensively uses PWGSC Standing Offers. By 2010-11 we expect the majority of our purchases for such commodities to be made using call-ups against these standing offers. NRC now has the capability to report on Green Procurement activity by Material Group. More detailed spend analysis and planning will be conducted in fiscal year (FY) 2010-11 at NRC to attain the targets and to extensively implement Green Procurement. |
Part C: Reduction Initiatives for Specific Goods
| Consumable/Asset | 2008-09 Level as Ratio # per FTE |
2010-11 Target |
Description/Comments |
|---|---|---|---|
| Various consumables and assets | 0 | N/A | In 2008-09 NRC did not have Green Procurement reporting capability but it has since been implemented. Once NRC has conducted an extensive spend analysis and planning for reduction purposes, NRC will launch Reduction Initiatives for various commodities for 2010-11. |
