Novadays has been awarded the public tender for the implementation of environmental public procurement in the City of Madrid and will assist this institution for the next 20 months to address this important transformation of public procurement.
The Madrid City Council, one of the largest governments in Spain in terms of public procurement, has been developing various actions to promote environmental public procurement or green public procurement among its more than 120 contracting bodies for years. With this new project, the Madrid City Council seeks to implement green public procurement in a definitive and systematized way.
The project integrates a multidisciplinary team of engineers, sociologists, political scientists and lawyers, who will work together with the City Council's procurement bodies and other stakeholders to define a general procurement guide and specific instructions for a wide variety of products.
The Madrid City Council's procurement guide and instructions on green public procurement are destined to become a reference for all local governments, which will have in them a model for drawing up administrative and technical specifications that will enable them to purchase environmentally friendly products and services.
