Enhancing local government greener procurement processes through carbon data

该项目专注于在我们现有的平台--气候要素平台上开发新的功能，使英国地方当局能够自动了解、可视化和管理其招标过程中的碳排放。这些信息被用来评估供应商的净零承诺，作为招标的选择标准，对于帮助地方当局减少其供应链的碳排放至关重要。这一新功能将涉及分析来自组织和地方当局的现有数据，以产生新的见解、基准和估计算法，这些信息将被提供给地方当局用于管理合同的分析仪表板。通过该平台生成的碳分析将与公认的框架保持一致。这将确保地方政府从投标供应商那里采购产品和服务的过程透明，从环境管理的角度来看，这些产品和服务已经到位，并将在合同履行期间生效和使用。

This project focuses on developing new functionalities on our already existing platform, Climate Essentials, that will allow local authorities in the UK to automatically understand, visualise, and manage the carbon emissions of their tendering process. This information, which is used to assess the net-zero commitments of their suppliers as a selection criterium for tendering, is key to helping local authorities reduce the carbon emissions of their supply chain.This new functionality will involve analysing existing data, both from organisations and local authorities, in order to generate new insights, benchmarks, and estimation algorithms that will feed into an analytics dashboard for local authorities to use to manage their contracts. The carbon analytics generated through the platform will be aligned with recognised frameworks. This will ensure transparent processes in the way the local government procure products and services from the bidding supplier from an environmental management perspective that they have in place and which will be in effect and utilised during the performance of the contract.
