Public tender

A third-party-verified biodiversity criterion in public tenders

An opposable biodiversity criterion in a tender requires verification by an independent accredited third party. IRICE provides this, separately from any advisory work.

A biodiversity criterion verified by a third party

Embedding an opposable biodiversity criterion in a public tender requires it to be verified by an independent accredited third party: the buyer cannot rely on the designer's self-assessment. IRICE, accredited by Cofrac (no. 5-0655, ISO/IEC 17065), provides this role.

This independence is not a comfort, it is a structural requirement of the tender. It prevents the party that designs or advises from also being the one that evaluates, which is where the value of third-party accredited verification lies.
