Modelling the process of green public procurement

Abstract

One of the opportunities how to foster sustainability of public procurement is via purchasing goods and services taking into account balanced and integrated social, economic and environmental aspects while meeting the needs of public institutions. However, more exact methodological procedures are absent in the implementation of green public procurement. Such methodology could enable assessing the quality, quantification and significant connectivity to green and knowledge economy in current practice. Authors of the paper provide more exact methodology of green public procurement of goods and services based on its connectivity to the worldwide standardized indicators of sustainable socio-economic development as well as the results of their own research.
