2017 Procura+ Awards launched

ICLEI is pleased to announce the launch of the 2017 Procura+ Awards. The Procura+ Awards reward sustainable and innovative public procurements,  showcasing and giving visibility to those procurements which lead to significant improvements of public good, services, process and infrastructure.

Procura+ Awards highlight sustainable and innovation procurements and tender procedures and give visibility to the most dynamic, forward-looking and innovative public authorities and their initiatives. The procured solutions will have a strong potential for replication and scaling up and will be an excellent showcase in using sustainable and innovation procurement instruments to purchase cutting edge solutions.

The 2016 edition of the Procura+ Awards saw the City of Copenhagen (Denmark), Transport for London (UK) and Rijkswaterstaat (Netherlands) win awards for Sustainable Procurement of the Year, Innovation Procurement of the Year and Tender Procedure of the Year, respectively. The 2017 winners will be rewarded with publicity in a variety of ICLEI publications, free entry and a presentation at the next EcoProcura conference, a case study on the SP Platform and PPI Platform, and the right to use the Procura+ Award logo in their email signature.

To apply, you just need to complete an application form and send it back to us via email to procurement@iclei.org by 30 June 2017.
