Survey on Socially Responsible Public Procurement – deadline extended!

A new survey aims to find out what communication sources public buyers use in their daily work on Socially Responsible Public Procurement (SRPP). The gathered information will be used to conduct an analysis on communication trends and practices around SRPP in each EU27 country, and is available in each official EU language. The deadline for filling in the survey has been extended to 31 January to give more public buyers across Europe the chance to participate.

The survey is developed in the framework of the EU project “Training and Awareness-raising Activities on Socially Responsible Public Procurement”, carried out by AEIDL, ICLEI Europe and Diesis Network on behalf of the European Commission. Within these project, the three organisations will organise customed trainings on SRPP in 12 EU member states and carry out an EU-wide communication campaign on SRPP.

The EC increasingly sees SRPP as a powerful tool to achieve social goals. SRPP asks of government authorities, social economy actors, support organisations and other stakeholders active in public procurement to look beyond just the price of the products and services they purchase, and to also consider how they are produced, sourced and delivered.

To fill in the survey, click here, and choose in which EU language you prefer to see it. The questionnaire is composed of approximately 20-30 questions and should take no longer than 10 minutes. Most of the questions are single or multiple choice closed questions.
