“…Various aspects of procurement policy have a distinct influence on procurement process Tkachenko, Yakovlev and Kuznetsova, [21] for instance, procurement policy that stimulates transparency and integrity in the procurement cycle positively influenced the procurement process. Rehmatulla, et al [22] also noted that procurement entities that have good procurement policies also have better service delivery. Transparency ensures that the procurement of goods, works and services are of high quality and meets the right specification which enables the Organisation to provide quality service.…”

This study was conducted to determine the effect of procurement policy, procurement planning and sustainable procurement on service delivery. The study employed a quantitative research approach and explanatory design. The target population for the study was staff and management of the Volta River Authority. Structured questionnaire was used to gather primary data. The study used SPSS version 32.0 for the data analyses. The study found that 73.6% variations in service delivery were explained by Procurement Policy, Procurement Planning and Sustainable Procurement. The study found that Procurement Policy (β = 0.623 ρ=0.000< 0.05) are significant determinants of service delivery thus a unit change in procurement policy will result in 62.3% change in service delivery. Procurement Planning (β = 0.027, ρ=0.080< 0.05) are significant determinants of service delivery thus a unit change in procurement planning will result in 2.7% change in service delivery. Sustainable Procurement (β = 0.39 ρ=0.000 < 0.05) are a significant determinant of service delivery. Thus a unit change in Sustainable Procurement will result in 39% change in service delivery. From the model estimation, procurement policy was the strongest predictor of service delivery followed by sustainable procurement and lastly procurement planning. The study revealed a strong significant positive correlation between procurement policy and service delivery. Moreover, the result showed a strong significant positive correlation between procurement planning and service delivery. Again the study found a significant positive correlation between sustainable procurement and service delivery. The study concludes that Procurement Policy, Procurement Planning and Sustainable Procurement significantly predict service delivery of VRA. The study recommends that the management of VRA must continuously invest in sustainable procurement, procurement planning and procurement policy to enhance service delivery to the public.

“…Newell et al and Bola [2,11] both attend to this issue from different perspectives, highlighting a strong demand-pull for innovation towards decarbonised propulsion systems. However, as we saw in Gilbert et al [7] and Rehmatulla et al [13], without up-front financial provision to drive innovation, or demonstrate the viability of a disruptive technology, progress will likely remain slow. A further perspective on 'local' initiatives is supplied by Fenton [5], who explores the role of port cities and municipal networks in curbing greenhouse gas emissions -both on land and sea.…”

“…Whilst other important low carbon technologies may have less easily resolved safety conflicts, this is nonetheless an important reminder of the wide-ranging regulatory landscape that needs to be complied with when moving towards a low carbon shipping system. Potential barriers to deep decarbonisation due to existing policy are also identified in [13] but with a focus on the ferry sector in the EU. The paper draws attention to the structuring of public-private sector interaction and its potential for negative consequences for energy efficiency.…”

a b s t r a c tThe shipping industry faces an uncertain future, as the climate change challenges faced by all sectors become increasingly urgent and apparent. If a quantitative interpretation of the goals laid out in the Paris Agreement is applied, shipping, along with all sectors combusting fossil fuel, faces substantial challenges in order to successfully decarbonise over the coming decades. Targeted at addressing gaps in knowledge and understanding across technical, operational and demand-side changes, this collection of articles presents some of the latest analysis to consider the opportunities available, and barriers to be overcome, to enable shipping's low carbon transition and the sustainability of global trade.

“…There are a few promising examples of maritime subsidies that are explicitly linked to environmental performance. Governments can do this as part of their procurement for shipping services (Rehmatulla, Smith and Tibbles, 2017). For example, in Sweden, the public procurement procedure for the maritime connection between Stockholm and Gotland incorporated GHG emissions (ITF, 2018e).…”
