Almost 500 delegates attended, drawn from over 100 local authorities, their advisors and suppliers and each event in the series generated highly positive feedback and a real appreciation of the opportunities and benefits of using recycled materials. The workshops focused on three key areas : how to make recycling work; how to use the procurement process to specify more recycled material; and how technical and design specifications are readily available for ‘quick wins’. Each of these themes was covered in an interactive session with delegates able to bring forward their own experience and share best practice. A strong local flavour was provided at each event, with regionally-based speakers providing local case study examples. Speakers at the events were drawn from leading exponents in highways, recycling and procurement. These included Murray Reid from TRL, Gilli Hobbs and Katherine Adams from BRE, Steve Biczysko from Atkins and David O’Farrell from Capita Symonds. In addition to speaker presentations and workshops, a small exhibition at each event helped to enhance the delivery of knowledge and provide practical examples of recycled products, techniques and applications. One of the particularly useful outcomes from the workshops was the feedback and injection of ideas from delegates, both during the events and as part of the post-event feedback questionnaire. This has provided a great deal of highly useful information on the opportunities, barriers and requirements for an increased level of recycling for highways maintenance. For example, over two-thirds of questionnaire respondents knew that their organisation had a corporate policy related to sustainability and recycling and delegates reported the need for a stronger link between this type of high level policies and highways maintenance. Delegates also reported that term contracts are the most popular procurement method, closely followed by partnering. Partnering is highlighted as a major opportunity, giving greater scope for innovation, a focus on quality and providing encouragement for continuous improvement. The use of Key Performance Indicators related to resource efficiency and recycling was also recommended as well as giving a greater weighting to quality over price in tender evaluations as a means of encouraging more recycling. Over three-quarters of local authorities use the Specification for Highway Works (SHW) and about a third use this with local variations. The impact the SHW has on local authority highways maintenance and increasing recycled content cannot be over-estimated and it may be beneficial to develop the SHW for different classes of roads. The workshops provided an excellent picture of the current state-of-play in highways recycling. The most popular application for recycled materials is in footways and cyclepaths, followed by bituminous pavements. Typically, County Councils are involved in a wider range of applications than other smaller local authorities. County Council’s in the South East and East Anglia were typically slightly ahead than their counterparts in other regions. 2 Promotional Campaign to Local Authorities – Recycled Roads Smaller local authorities have cited problems including a lack of resources and difficulties in finding suitable sites for storing and processing waste arisings. This suggests there is real need to target these smaller local authorities and address the barriers, as well as to continue to encourage County Councils to continue developing their usage, especially for higher value applications. It is estimated that around 7% of all local authorities (8.5% in England) require recycling in their highways contracts. Undoubtedly, this series of workshops will contribute to an increase in this figure and help WRAP to reach their target ‘to promote and facilitate the specification, procurement and use of recycled and secondary aggregates such that 20% of local authorities are specifying these materials by 2006’. A number of local authorities who attended one or more events have already reported that they are already implementing reuse and recycling policies as a result of the workshops. It is anticipated that at least two more ‘Recycled Roads’ events will be held this Autumn. The workshops were very well attended and in many cases were quickly fully booked and generated a waiting list of would-be attendees. This excellent turnout can be attributed to the focused marketing strategy and the support provided by a number of key organisations including Highways Agency, Institution of Civil Engineers, the Civil Engineering Contractors Association, Constructing Excellence, County Surveyors’ Society, Institute of Highways Incorporated Engineers and the Institution of Highways and Transportation. The ‘Recycled Roads’ brand created by this series of workshops is now well established and in a position whereby WRAP could move forward in a proactive way to provide more information, guidance and assistance to local authorities, their contractors and consultants. This could include undertaking similar events in Scotland and Wales, regular newsletters, email alerts, a question and answer or a forum section on the AggRegain website (www.aggregain.org.uk). Importantly, a forward programme of similar styled events would maintain momentum, further enhance uptake and develop the opportunities for recycling. Clearly there is a strong interest amongst local authorities and a ready desire for the tools, guidance and techniques to allow them to increase the size and scope of their recycling activities for highways. 3 Promotional Campaign to Local Authorities – Recycled Roads Contents 1.

This included those involved in procurement, specification and the use of aggregates in highway and street maintenance. The objectives of the programme were to: • Produce an effective campaign programme, including event content and training materials. • Establish a skilled team of expert presenters, for delivery of the campaign. • Identify, target and attract relevant attendees for each regional event. • Produce and implement a marketing campaign for the events. • Deliver ten regional events with a minimum of 30 Local Authority highway and street maintenance staff, their consultants and contractors, per event. • Produce delegate packs incorporating details of the event presentations and appropriate guidance. • Manage ten regional events, including event logistics and delegate registration • Complete a project review and produce a summary report providing an indication of potential changes in awareness, attitude and practice as a result of the promotional campaign, and recommendations for future measurement of changes in behaviour. This report aims to satisfy the last objective. The workshops entitled ‘Recycled Roads’ were highly successful with over 500 delegates registered, 300 of these from Local Authorities, representing over 100 Local Authorities in the UK. Over three quarters of County Councils were represented and over half of Metropolitan Councils. Initially the promotional campaign was split into two key parts: Part A – preparation of the workshop material and provision of other support related to marketing and delivering the

  • Interim Olympic Delivery Authority (“Ioda”) Published a Set of Procurement Principles (“The Principles”) to Map out the Core Values for the Procurement Activities
    Olympic Delivery Authority Procurement Policy (draft for consultation) FOREWORD The opening ceremony for the London 2012 Olympic Games will take place on 27 July 2012. The Olympic Games and Paralympic Games that follow them will be great events, providing memorable moments for millions, in London and across the world. The Olympic Delivery Authority (“ODA”) has been established to deliver new venues and infrastructure for the Games and to facilitate the Legacy – the Games will last six weeks, but the social, environmental and economic benefits will have a far longer reach. The challenge for the ODA, operating under unparalleled scrutiny, is to deliver the Games and the Legacy in a sustainable way, on time and to budget. To do this, we will need to work with some of the best designers and construction companies in the world, many of them based in the UK. We will need to procure and manage the delivery of goods and services in a way that enables us to deliver on time against a tight budget, and to benefit from the innovation and creativity that these companies can offer, but also to help to realise the aspirations and commitments set out in London’s bid and inspired by London’s Olympic vision. The Procurement Policy detailed in this document sets out how ODA intend to do this and to provide clarity to current and potential suppliers and the wide range of stakeholders that have an interest in how the ODA delivers its functions. The ODA has sought to share a common procurement approach with that of the London Organising Committee for the Olympic Games, the Greater London Authority and the London Development Agency to achieve sustainable development by maximising the economic, social, health and environmental benefits of the Games.

Considering the accelerating urbanization and expansion in the Global South versus the shrinking middle classes in the Global North, and the fact that up to 80% of our ageing building stock will likely still exist in 2030, we need to be aware that the future of the Engineering and Construction sector is not solely about industry-specific issues but also, directly and indirectly, about the future of our built environment, of our communities and, ultimately, of the well-being and happiness of our societies.
