We’re pleased to present the UKUPC Responsible Procurement Commodity Mapping Tool to UKUPC members, supporting the identification of potential responsible procurement risks and opportunities.  The tool has been developed by members of the UKUPC Responsible Procurement Network and the UK FHE (Further and Higher Education) Responsible Procurement Group (formerly known as the HEPA and EAUC RPG), and offers an indicative assessment of risks at ProcHE level 2 aligned to the Sustain Supply Chain Code of Conduct.

You can watch the recording of the launch webinar here:

The tool covers four thematic areas, and the associated relevant risks and opportunities: 

The convenient search functionality allows you to select a level 2 ProcHE code and generate a High to Low risk/opportunity classification via a simple interface, as an initial guide to understanding and managing potential risks and opportunities. Within the tool, information is provided on the factors and assumptions that sit behind the classifications.

We would really welcome your feedback on the tool once you start to use it in practice. There is a feedback form within the mapping tool document, where you can provide your comments.
