Hi ACTS,
The University of Sydney is in the process of preparing tender documents for the supply of PCs and Notebooks. Has anyone done something like this recently and would be willing to share what they included ? I had a look though Eco-buy at the US EPEAT criteria but if there is any Australian one similar anyone knows about, it would be a great help. Our wording so far : The bidder should only supply to the University of Sydney computers which have been manufactured in a factory having ISO 14001 and ISO 9001 certification. 1.1.1. Please advise the currency and date of certification. 1.1.2. If certification has not been obtained please advise when certification is expected to be approved. The University of Sydney is seeking to reduce the environmental impact of computer equipment both from the manufacturing, transport and power consumption. 1.1.3. What is the typical energy consumption of the equipment specified in this tender, including monitors if any? Please advise this measure for both the typical operating scenario and when the equipment is in power down state 1.1.4. Is the equipment Energy Star rated? 1.1.5. Is the equipment compliant with US Executive Order 13221? 1.1.6. How do you minimise the use of packaging materials? Are the packaging materials used recyclable? Describe any which are not. 1.1.7. Please advise the weight of the equipment offered under this tender. 1.1.8. Do you offer a take-back or return scheme at the end of equipment life, typically between 3 and 4 years. Thanks, Janet Broady ph 02 9351 2063 Manager, Environmental Strategies Campus Property and Services University of Sydney www.usyd.edu.au/sustainable
