Support from the contracting authorities to implement the project

The Public Procurement Agency (PPA) is a beneficiary of the project “Methodological Support for the Development of Green Public Procurement in Bulgaria”, funded under Priority Axis 3 “Private Sector” of the Bulgarian-Swiss Cooperation Program

For the implementation of the project, the PPA conducted a public procurement with the subject:

“Researching and Forecasting the Potential of the National Green Public Procurement Market in Bulgaria and Preparing a Practical Aid for their Award”, won by PricewaterhouseCoopers Bulgaria EOOD (PwC Bulgaria).

The purpose of the project is to develop a practical toolkit containing examples of the use of environmentally friendly criteria, integrated in the selection criteria, in the technical specifications, as indicators in the complex evaluation of tenders and in the terms of the draft contract.

The study on the national market for green public procurement will be carried out with the support of organizations (contracting authorities) – ministries, agencies, municipalities, other agencies and large contracting authorities, through questionnaires cards, provided remotely and through interviews.

The contribution of contracting authorities is essential for the development of a useful methodological tool for applying green criteria in public procurement.

We rely on the assistance of all contracting authorities to participate in the study.
