Vote 39 - Office of Government Procurement

Mr. Paul Quinn:
I am conscious of time so I will be brief. For example, we have recently put in place an electric vehicle framework for both cars and small vans. We have run competitions to support the education sector to buy its electricity from 100% green sources. Other examples would be that we have just put in place a framework for furniture with the HSE that would include reuse of materials as part of the furniture provided, but also life-cycle management by ensuring effective disposal. We would have a broad range of examples where we have already incorporated that, although there is a lot more to be done.
