Public procurement

Welcome to a Think Tank on how public procurement can create incentives for sustainable solutions.

Public procurement has significant potential to drive sustainable development by setting requirements for environmentally and socially sustainable solutions. By integrating sustainability criteria into the procurement process, the public sector can promote innovation, reduce environmental impact, and improve social conditions. To harness this potential, a thorough understanding of how tender documents can be formulated and effectively implemented is required.

The public sector's purchasing power can be used as a strategic tool to create demand for sustainable products and services. By setting clear sustainability goals in procurement policies, suppliers can be encouraged to develop and offer more sustainable alternatives. This can also lead to long-term cost savings through increased energy efficiency and reduced waste costs.

Another important area is social sustainability, where public procurement can help improve working conditions and promote equality. By including requirements for labor standards and ethical working conditions, it can be ensured that public funds support fair and sustainable practices.

We invite you to participate in this think tank to explore how we can use public procurement as a tool to promote sustainable solutions. By bringing together experts, procurement officers, suppliers, and policymakers, we aim to develop new ideas and strategies to optimize the procurement process for sustainability.

Purpose
To explore and develop ideas for integrating sustainability criteria into public procurement. We will also discuss how different stakeholders can collaborate to promote sustainable solutions through the procurement process.

Objectives

  • Develop concrete ideas and recommendations for integrating sustainability criteria into public procurement.

  • Create actions to test and evaluate new methods and initiatives.

  • Promote collaboration between different stakeholders to ensure long-term and sustainable solutions through public procurement.

By discussing and developing these issues, we can work together to create a more sustainable public procurement process. We look forward to your insights and contributions at this important event.
