Enquiry:

Brian Menzies of Enscape (formerly of EnviroCentre and author of the ICE Demolition Protocol and WRAP Aggregain Demolition Module) was looking for specification writing skills for a Zero Waste Scotland Project Regulated Open Tender:

4CN001-001 Model Clauses for Construction Waste Reduction through Procurement

The first of many tenders for a large EU supported programme.

This requires interrogation of current and existing Scottish legislation and authoritative guidance:

Waste Aware Scotland (WAS),
Zero Waste Scotland (ZWS)
Waste Resource Action Programme (WRAP)
CRWP publications

And development of specification clauses to suit.

Brian Menzies approached Brian Murphy of GBE, having been a partner with BRE on a PII Parters In Innovation project to write waste specification clauses, then GBE were the ideal partner for this one.

The two Brians had previously worked together when Menzies developed ICE Demolition Protocol, Murphy developed the GBS Deconstruction and Alterations Specifications, their supporting appendix and on the WRAP Aggregation website Demolition Module (now gone)

We also needed Legal, Contractural, Cost guidance and WLC and LCA contributions.

Andrew Norton LCA specialist of Renuables and member of the CAPEM project team with Brian Murphy as UK Partner was invited to participate.
