Where a sustainable procurement plan is not in place before Concept Design (as required in the criteria), the credit can still be achieved if:
- A sustainable procurement plan is in place prior to the specification documents being developed.
- The assessor justifies that the later timing has not compromised the ability of the plan to guide specification and procurement activities.
07 March 2025 - Reference to end of Concept Design removed in lieu of prior to specification documents being developed, to allow more flexibility on D&B projects. Full justification will be required where this is to be applied.
