There has been increased activity recently by cyber criminals attempting to gain unauthorised access to carry out fraud and harvest usernames, passwords, bank details and other personal information. The Office of Government Procurement would like to remind Contracting Authorities to remain vigilant in relation to malicious emails, web links and phone calls. There will be a phased introduction of green criteria across Government and Public Sectors targeting priority products and services as well as building appropriate green criteria into the Office of Government Procurement (OGP) frameworks as they arise, and providing support and guidance to procurers. The Department of Communications, Climate Action and Environment is developing this criteria which will support the effective implementation of this initiative. The Circular instructs Departments/Offices to consider the inclusion of green criteria in their procurements.
