Keynote: Procurement sets the scene for Decarbonisation via a Circular Economy

6 July 2023 10:45 am - 11:30 am Circular Economy

Despite advances in circularity in some supply chains generally that has been little change in procurement behaviour. We examine what this needs to look like to support the introduction of circularity into construction supply chains covering:

  • How does circular procurement differ between Tier 1 and Tier 2 contracting?
  • What are the procurement clauses required to support it?
  • How do we move from a minimum standard to an optimum standard of circularity?
  • What lessons learned from the public sector can be transferred?
