LRS Consultancy is pleased to announce the publication of the Mayor of London’s Green Procurement Code Progress Review 2012.

The Progress Review reports on the annual achievements of the Green Procurement Code members. It represents one of the most comprehensive studies on sustainable procurement in Europe, reflecting both the financial and environmental savings that members have achieved. This year’s Progress Review shows that the Green Procurement Code’s members reported spending of £110,069,424 on green products and services.

Issues arise from the European Council’s publishing of its proposed compromise text for a new public sector procurement directive.

Olympic Delivery Authority (ODA) chairman Sir John Armitt has published London 2012 – a global showcase for UK plc, a report on the construction of the Olympic Park, describing it as “a superb advertisement for UK plc” and highlighting the new approaches to sustainability successfully adopted for construction of the “greenest Games ever”.
