The Construction Sessions - Sustainability In Construction - 29 September 2026

As part of the Construction Session, Scottish Government –Procurement and Property Directorate are hosting a webinar on Sustainability In Construction. The webinar will look at the sustainability, climate adaptation and net zero-related updates to the Client Guide to Construction Projects.  

The guide has been revised to reflect the recent releases of wider policy, including Climate Change Duties: Statutory Guidance for Public Bodies, Scotland’s Climate Change Plan: 2026–2040, and the Scottish National Adaptation Plan (2024–2029).

The refreshed Chapter 18, ‘Sustainability in Construction’, in the ‘Project Initiation and Business Cases Handbook’ of the Guide provides guidance to public sector construction clients on their duties relating to climate change in the context of construction projects.

The webinar  is open to anyone from both the public and private sectors and anyone who has an interest in the delivery of construction projects or indeed more generally in procurement. It will take place via Teams on 29 September 2026 from 1030 – 1200. Presenters will include Principal and Senior Construction Advisers from the Scottish Government’s Construction Procurement Policy Unit.
