Life cycle assessment (LCA) tenders
Life cycle assessment measures the environmental impact of a product, building or service from raw materials to disposal. Public buyers tender it in three main settings. Construction clients commission whole-life carbon assessments of buildings and infrastructure, often required by green building certification. Environment agencies commission LCAs of products, packaging and waste options to inform policy. And procurement teams use LCA to set and verify low-carbon criteria in their own purchasing.
LCA tenders are specific about method. Expect references to ISO 14040 and 14044, product category rules or environmental product declarations, the European standard for buildings, and the database to be used. In German and Austrian notices, LCA work often sits inside sustainability coordination for building certification schemes, so it can be listed under a broader title. Evaluation weighs the team's modelling experience and its familiarity with the product or sector.

Frequently asked
What standards do LCA tenders use?
ISO 14040 and 14044 for the method, product category rules for environmental product declarations, and sector standards such as the European standard for the environmental performance of buildings.
Why does LCA appear in building tenders?
Green building certification schemes and many public clients now require whole-life carbon or full life cycle assessment of new buildings and major refurbishments.
Is LCA the same as a carbon footprint?
A carbon footprint covers greenhouse gases only. An LCA can cover many impacts, such as water use and toxicity, though many public tenders focus on its carbon results.
