Traduction de «Purchasing cycle » (Anglais → Français) :

legal and regulatory provisions, and administrative practices, regarding public purchasing and annual budgeting and accounting, with a view to ensuring that individual public bodies are not deterred from making investments in improving energy efficiency and minimising expected life-cycle costs and from using energy performance contracting and other third-party financing mechanisms on a long-term contractual basis.

16. Calls on the Commission to establish rules, based on existing best practice, whereby contracting authorities can measure total costs in relation to the energy-saving potential of a given product or service, i.e. by applying the ‘life-cycle costs’ approach when choosing the most economically advantageous bid; recommends, therefore, that the Commission follow the model of Directive 2009/33/EC on the promotion of clean and energy-efficient road transport vehicles, which enables public authorities to use, as an evaluation criterion in public procurement procedures, the total cost generated by vehicle use over a normal use period, rather than merely the original purchase price; ...[+++]

Manufacturers are the best placed in the procurement / purchase cycle of road transport vehicles to provide indicative data for total lifetime energy consumption, CO2 and pollutant emissions for their vehicles when they are offered for sale.

requirements to purchase equipment and vehicles based on lists of energy-efficient product specifications of different categories of equipment and vehicles to be drawn up by the authorities or agencies referred to in Article 4(4), using, where applicable, minimised life-cycle cost analysis or comparable methods to ensure cost-effectiveness.

requirements to purchase equipment that has efficient energy consumption in all modes, including in standby mode, using, where applicable, minimised life-cycle cost analysis or comparable methods to ensure cost-effectiveness.

(ea) requirements to purchase or rent energy-efficient buildings or parts thereof, or requirements to replace or retrofit purchased or rented buildings or parts thereof in order to render them more energy-efficient using, where applicable as evaluation criteria, minimised life cycle cost or comparable methods to ensure cost-effectiveness.
