Scientific Support of Processes for a Green Public Procurement (GPP)

Main objective of the project is to support the German Federal Environment Agency in its plethora of activities to strengthen green public procurement (GPP). To realise it, different activities are envisaged which refer to German processes as well as GPP-activities of the European Commission. Main emphasis is to elaborate on and update a plethora of procurement recommendations for various product groups and to update assessments of current GPP law and legal practice. Other tasks are to support the update of the website www.beschaffung-info.de and to update different training material on "Green public procurement" of the Agency. In addition to that, scientific expertise should be offered to working groups, in which the Federal Environment Agency is involved.
