In 2003 the Parliament engaged the Centre for Human Ecology - led by Osbert Lancaster, now with Footprint Consulting
- to help them define their policy, produce a statement of principles
and develop a 3-step plan for implementation. This involved: interviews
and workshops with Parliament staff; researching the sustainable
procurement policies of other legislatures and public bodies
internationally; understanding constraints and opportunities posed by
EU and other legislation; and helping draft a policy and implementation
plan that reflected the specific principles, responsibilities and
culture of the Scottish Parliament.
Following
implementation of the plan, in 2008 the Parliament launched its
Responsible Purchasing Strategy, committing resources to the
achievement of best practice, embedding Responsible Purchasing into all
practices and encouraging suppliers to do the same.
