Disposal Solutions
It is important to consider how products can be re-used, re-deployed, and/or recycled at the end of their life. Whole life costing is an important part of sustainable procurement. It is only by considering the costs - both financial and non-financial - of disposal that a complete assessment of value for money can be made.
Buying Solutions is committed to ensuring that surplus products are disposed of correctly, thus minimising the damaging effects on the environment and now offers a framework agreement that includes ICT Asset Disposal.
This framework agreement has the added benefit of allowing public sector purchasers to contribute to the Disability Agenda by providing sustainable work opportunities for people experiencing complex barriers to work, as all suppliers are Supported Factories and Businesses.
In addition to this framework we can also offer information on the following service:
