REMAINING COMPETITIVE IN THE FACE OF PROCUREMENT CHANGES

May 2, 2023

The landscape of procurement is changing rapidly, and sustainable procurement practices are quickly becoming the norm. As a result, many contractors in Saskatchewan are adapting to new changes to remain competitive. 

Here are a few ways that you can position yourself as a valuable partner in the bid process: 

Emphasize Sustainable Practices 

Emphasizing sustainable practices means highlighting the steps that you take to minimize your impact on the environment, support local communities, and promote social and economic sustainability. For example, you may use energy-efficient equipment, source materials from local suppliers, or support local apprenticeship programs. By emphasizing your sustainable practices, and having sustainable policies in place, you can help differentiate your company.

Provide Data on Sustainable Performance 

In addition to emphasizing your sustainable practices, you can also provide data on your sustainable performance. This means tracking and reporting on metrics such as carbon emissions, waste reduction, and social and economic impact, as well as supporting and encouraging the development of equity-deserving groups. You can also use this data to identify areas for improvement and continue to refine your sustainable practices over time. 

Collaborate with Other Contractors 

Finally, you can position yourself as a valuable partner in the bid process by collaborating with other contractors. This means working with other mechanical contractors, as well as contractors to develop sustainable solutions for the project. By collaborating, you can leverage each other’s strengths and expertise, and develop more effective and sustainable solutions for the project.
