| Collaborative ICT Procurement. |
The Scottish Government |
Existing traditional individual procurement arrangements identified as leading to inherent inefficiencies. |
Introduce a collaborative framework agreement for the Scottish public sector to create a standardised approach to procurement for the purchase of ICT products. The framework is based upon mandatory energy efficiency criteria (minimum Energy Star 5 and EPEAT Sliver rating). |
Carbon emissions reduced by 16,300 tonnes over three years (by replacing 159,000 corporate desktops). Subsequent iterations of the framework stipulate a maximum size/configuration/ physical arrangement of desktop equipment, with the aim of further reducing carbon emissions by 62 kg per PC over a three year period. |
