  • 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.

  • The Royal Parks Sustainability Policy
    The Royal Parks Sustainability Policy The Royal Parks charity manages over 5,000 acres of historic parkland and open spaces across London. This includes eight Royal parks: Hyde Park, Kensington Gardens, St James’s Park, The Green Park, Regent’s Park & Primrose Hill, Richmond Park, Greenwich Park and Bushy Park. The charity also manages other important green spaces in London, including Victoria Tower Gardens and Brompton Cemetery. The eight Royal Parks have been awarded Green Flag status, which recognises them as some of the UK’s best-kept green spaces and heritage landscapes. The nature quality of the Royal Parks is recognised through a number of international, national and local nature conservation designations. We believe that all aspects of our operation should be carried out in a way that takes advantage of enhancement opportunities, minimises our adverse impacts on the environment, while maintaining the economic viability of the parks. Therefore, we have developed a Sustainability Strategy that focuses on four key pillars: • Conserve and enhance the unique landscapes, built heritage & biodiversity • People, education, fairness and improving wellbeing • Mitigation and adapting to climate change • Sustainable growth - providing environmentally excellent and financially viable green open spaces to the public Within these sustainability pillars, our key commitments include: • Effective conservation and enhancement of landscape, wildlife and buildings. • Promoting sustainability messages through learning and engagement programmes for audiences of all ages and backgrounds. • Enhancing biodiversity through appropriate management of The Royal Parks and participation in Partnerships. • Working with Event partners to deliver sustainable events, ensuring everything practicable is done to not negatively impact on biodiversity, maximise waste recycling, minimise greenhouse gas emissions from temporary power and mains water use (except where the mains water replaces bottled water).
