  5. SPPN: 3/2022 – Public Procurement – Taking account of climate and circular economy considerations

This Scottish Procurement Policy note replaces SPPN 1/2021 and reflects additional sources of help and support. It clarifies expectations with respect to climate and circular economy considerations. It aligns climate change reporting duties with procurement policy and legislation. Public bodies should use their public procurement spend to support climate ambitions, signposting sources of support to embed this policy in practice. They should report ongoing progress against these commitments in their annual procurement reports. Scotland aims for an appreciation of how commercial and other contracting activity can support netzero climate goals.
