New green public procurement case studies published by PRIMES

A wide-range of green public procurement (GPP) case studies covering diverse topics have been published on the PRIMES project website. Case studies on subjects such as the procurement of electricity, transportation services, IT-equipment and more are available to read online. New examples will continue to be added over the next weeks.

Practical case studies are being developed throughout the life of the project to support local procurers to buy green products and services and to carry out energy-efficient construction works. Those interested in the public procurement of energy-efficient street lighting, electric vehicles, and green building retrofitting are invited to visit the website and learn more about the purchasing practices in place in other municipalities.

The EU-funded PRIMES project works with local authorities to develop basic skills and provides hands-on support for public purchasing organisations to help them overcome barriers and implement Green Public Purchasing.
