BBP Circular Procurement Best Practice Guideline
Organisations are increasingly leveraging their procurement power to achieve greater sustainability outcomes. To seize new opportunities and to be competitive in tender processes, suppliers of goods and services throughout the supply chain need to understand how to meet sustainability expectations.
To support this ambition the Better Buildings Partnership (BBP) engaged thinkstep-anz to develop the Circular Economy Procurement Best Practice Guideline – further equipping the sector to push towards more circular procurement approaches and processes.
The purpose of the guide is to assist property owners, managers, and tenants to improve the performance and sustainability of their buildings by embedding circularity principles in procurement.
Who should use this guideline?
- Facility managers
- Contract managers
- Procurement teams
- Asset managers
- Sustainability/ESG teams
The guideline will assist you in understanding:
- The business case for circular procurement
- Circularity strategies such as durability, reuse and refurbishment
- Practical insights into navigating the complexities of circular procurement
- How BBP members are implementing circular procurement
The Circular Procurement Checklist (in the Appendix of the guideline) is a great tool to help you benchmark your organisation’s current approaches to circular procurement and identify potential gaps and opportunities on the path to the best practice.
