This is particularly important in the light of the 2006 definition of sustainable procurement by the Sustainable Procurement Task Force: ‘A process whereby organisations meet their needs for goods, services, works and utilities in a way that achieves value for money on a whole-life basis in terms of generating benefits not only to the organisation, but also to society and the economy, while minimising damage to the environment.’

This might include consideration of lifecycle impacts, environmental impacts and social impacts. These extrinsic cost considerations are factored into decisions alongside the conventional procurement criteria which have tended to focus on price, quality and time.
