The Sustainable Infrastructure projects will assist the European Commission in supporting national authorities to ensure a sustainable implementation for major public infrastructure procurement projects. This goal will be achieved through the preparation of a guidance document, which will include good practices to inspire public authorities to enhance their knowledge and ultimately guarantee sustainable infrastructure projects and the highest environmental standards throughout the supply chain.
ICLEI is currently conducting 18 interviews with different stakeholders (procurers, experts from the financial sector, policy officers) on sustainable public procurement. ICLEI will also provide input for a “sustainability checklist” on infrastructure procurement projects and will organise two online events to promote the main findings and projects results. A number of case studies on procurement of sustainable infrastructure projects will also be prepared by ICLEI.
