How do we leverage Towns’ procurement process to support their net zero aims?

This document sets out some general guidance to help local authorities leverage their procurement processes in their transition to net zero in the context of their Towns Fund projects. This guide is not intended to provide comprehensive recommendations on all aspects of a local authority’s procurement, but should provide a starting point to consider how to incorporate net zero into procurement. Over time, this guide could be updated based on lessons learnt from Towns and best practices demonstrated. It is recommended that Towns work carefully with their procurement teams to develop the best approach for their specific project and Town.
