Objectives for Sustainable Procurement Sustainability in purchasing need not necessarily cost more and there is now a much wider choice of environmentally friendly products. "Green goods" are not necessarily more expensive; often if the 'whole life cost' of a product is considered the cheapest product is more expensive in the long run. Whole life costing means taking into account the total cost of an item over its lifetime such as raw materials sourcing, running costs, transportation, admin costs and disposal costs. The overarching objective is for sustainability considerations to be addressed within the procurement cycle in all instances. The more specific objectives in terms of sustainable procurement are: To seek alternatives to products and processes which are detrimental to the environment and social well-being by using more environmentally friendly and ethically traded products and processes. To minimise waste, including: any packaging, waste produced by the product (or service) in question, and waste generated by the eventual disposal of the product. MWL are looking for a partner to carry out planned preventative maintenance and inspections to the fire dampers at Southport District General Hospital and Ormskirk District General Hospital. Inspections will be required to develop a detailed list of remedial work that has been identified and it will be the suppliers responsibility to carry out all of the remedials as per the specification. ## Key Details | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication source | Contracts Finder | | Latest notice | https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0f6e321b-cb85-4110-a0db-b14170b7fd2e | | Notice type | Tender Notice | | Procurement type | Standard | | Procurement category | Services | | Procurement method | Open | | Procurement method details | Open procedure | | Tender suitability | SME | | Awardee scale | Not specified | | All stages | Tender | ## Dates | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Publication date | 12 Nov 2024 | | Submission deadline | 20 Dec 2024 | | Future notice date | Not specified | | Award date | Not specified | | Contract period | 21 Dec 2024 - 22 Dec 2024 | | Recurrence | Not specified | ## Values | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender value | Not specified | | Lots value | Not specified | | Awards value | Not specified | | Contracts value | Not specified | ## Status | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Tender status | Active | | Lots status | Not specified | | Awards status | Not specified | | Contracts status | Not specified | ## Buyer | Field | Value | | --- | --- | | Main buyer | MERSEY AND WEST LANCASHIRE TEACHING HOSPITALS NHS TRUST | | Locality | SOUTHPORT | | Post town | Preston | | Postcode | PR8 6PN | | Country | England | | ITL 1 | TLD North West (England) | | ITL 2 | TLD7 Merseyside | | ITL 3 | TLD73 Sefton | | Local authority | Sefton | | Electoral ward | Kew | | Westminster constituency | Southport | | Delivery location | Not specified | ## CPV Codes ### Divisions - 44 - Construction structures and materials; auxiliary products to construction (except electric apparatus) ### Codes - 44482000 - Fire-protection devices ## Release History - 12 Nov 2024 at 17:07 - Tender - Tender Notice - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0f6e321b-cb85-4110-a0db-b14170b7fd2e ## Documents - https://www.contractsfinder.service.gov.uk/Notice/0f6e321b-cb85-4110-a0db-b14170b7fd2e 12th November 2024 - Opportunity notice on Contracts Finder - https://uk.eu-supply.com/app/rfq/rwlentrance_s.asp?PID=87548&B=UK Additional data - https://uk.eu-supply.com/ctm/Company/CompanyInformation/Index/28553 User / Company ## Provenance This Markdown file is an alternate public rendering of the D3 Tenders contract record.
