Client network for a climate-neutral construction sector Phase 2

Purpose and goal:

The purpose of the client network is to gather and support public clients in the work to reach a climate-neutral construction sector through procurement that promotes innovation. To cope with this, cooperation is required across the entire sector, which is why we would like to see other actors participate and contribute to the work. The customer network has been established for a year and a half, through previous project. The goal of this project is to continue running the network for another six months.

Expected results and effects:

Expected results from this study are to establish long-term funding so that the Ordering Network can continue on its own. The ambition is that the results from the client network should not only contribute to increased client competence and a greater understanding of different and common needs. In the long term, a greater collective client competence and purchasing power is also expected to result in clear environmental effects, not least concerning the sector´s emissions of greenhouse gases.

Approach and implementation:

The work is carried out in two main forms of work. Innovation teams are a number of smaller groupings that drive development within 3-5 important development areas for the network. We currently have three innovation teams: Common requirements in procurement documents, Knowledge of good material selection in construction projects and Customer network as a working method.

The other form of work is network meetings where the entire network is seen. On these occasions, results are disseminated and knowledge input is given on common challenges.
