The Scottish Government issued an Invitation to
Tender for the Provision of Biomass Energy
Supply Agreements on 31 May 2012. This is their
first tender in a series of competitions related to
Biomass Energy in the Scottish public sector.
The decision to pursue collaborative sourcing
solutions for Biomass-related technologies was
influenced by the identification of several risks
and opportunities, including impact on
biodiversity both at the supply stage and at the
end-of-life stage. For example, the potential
impacts of sourcing wood, as well as disposal
of ash and decommissioned boilers were all
analysed.
In addition to environmental factors, the
procurement team were able to identify an
economic sustainability opportunity. Given the
large-scale and innovative nature of the work,
the framework solutions will have the potential
to integrate an immature supply chain in the
hope of developing a ‘lead market’ for future
export to the rest of the UK, and further-afield.
One of the key techniques used in the Marrakech
Approach is life cycle impact mapping. The
techniques can be applied to any procurement
activity from major works projects and social
care to stationery. It helps organisations and
individuals to appreciate:
- where the risks lie;
- where the opportunities lie;
- the actions they can and should take to
manage these risks; and
- at what stage of the procurement process
this is best done.
Every product and service has a ‘life cycle’ or
number of stages it goes through:
- from the extraction and sourcing of raw
materials, such as mining;
- to the transportation of sub-assemblies and
parts, often through a global supply chain;
- to the use of products or works and the
delivery of services; and
- to the re-use, recycling, remanufacture
and final disposal of materials.
In the Marrakech Approach, the assessment
of these risks and opportunities is broken
down in to four key phases, summarised below:
• Raw materials;
• Manufacturing and logistics;
• Use; and
• Disposal or end-of-life.
Life cycle impacts
Life cycle impacts help the user identify
and assess impacts. It is also possible to refer
to other information sources to identify the key
environmental and socio-economic risks and
opportunities.
For example, it may help to focus attention on
the disposal phase before the procurement is
carried out, allowing the organisation to build
end-of-life management requirements into
both its performance clauses for successful
contractors and its own internal management
procedures
