## Summary

The Surrey County Council has recently awarded a contract for consultancy services related to the financial implications of integrating environmental considerations into procurement. The contract involves addressing supply chain emissions to achieve net zero targets. The procurement covers project management consultancy services valued at £100,000 and has a contract period from January 5, 2023, to September 29, 2023. The tender closed on December 5, 2022. Surrey County Council, along with East Sussex County Council, is driving this initiative within their shared Orbis Procurement service. The buyer is Surrey County Council.

This tender presents an opportunity for businesses offering project management consultancy services focused on environmental sustainability to engage with local authorities aiming to achieve high environmental standards within their supply chains. Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) would be particularly suitable to bid for this contract. The procurement process is part of the open procedure above the threshold and seeks to simplify processes for prospective suppliers, especially local smaller suppliers. For interested businesses, this contract could lead to valuable partnerships and business growth opportunities within the public sector.

## Notice

Both Surrey County Council (SCC) and East Sussex County Council (ESCC) (collectively, "the Councils") have declared climate change emergencies, and both have committed themselves to ambitious net zero targets. Whilst addressing direct organisational emissions is usually a visible and distinct process, dealing with Scope 3 supply chain emissions involves activities that reside outside the immediate sphere of organisational influence, complicating the decarbonisation process. Having completed supply chain carbon baselining exercises, it was found that a significant portion of both Councils' total emissions reside within the supply chain. SCC and ESCC are part of a shared procurement service that also includes Brighton and Hove City Council (BHCC) known as Orbis Procurement. To combat the climate emergency, as well as other environmental issues, as effectively and consistently as possible, the Councils have co-developed a shared 'Orbis Environmentally Sustainable Procurement Policy'. The Councils are now aiming to achieve the highest environmental standards within their respective supply chains in the most cost-effective way possible, and to simplify processes for prospective suppliers (especially local smaller suppliers).
