Tender Results of European Commission, Directorate General For Environment Env

Lack of awareness and need for a greater professionalisation of public procurers are among the main reasons for the low uptake of Green Public Procurement (GPP). Training activities in this field are essential to support an increase in the use of GPP by contracting authorities. The objective of this contract is to contribute to a better management of public procurement, in particular under the environmental angle.

The task of the Sustainable Public Procurement (SPP) Helpdesk is to promote and disseminate information about GPP and to provide timely and accurate answers to stakeholders' enquiries. The Helpdesk's tasks also include the preparation of a periodical News-Alert, the development of good practice examples, provision of content for the GPP website, the elaboration of a list of frequently asked questions and the organisation of GPP and SPP webinars. Expected results should facilitate the exchange of information on SPP practices in the EU and support and encourage contracting authorities in adopting SPP actions.
