My Department is committed under its Environment Policy Statement to continuous improvement in the environmental performance of its in-house practices, policies and programmes. My Department's guidelines on tender documentation request an electronic copy of the response along with three paper copies. These copies are necessary evaluation purposes as complex documents can be difficult to read on screen. However, my Department will review this procedure with a view to encouraging future tender respondents to comply with our commitments in this area, such as double sided printing, use of recycled paper and ensuring that any additional information not requested in the tender is provided electronically.
