BuyZET - Procurement of innovative solutions for zero emission urban delivery of goods and services
Launched in November 2016, the BuyZET project is a partnership of cities aiming to achieve zero emission urban delivery of goods and services, by (a) Understanding the transportation footprint of their different procurement activities and (b) Developing innovative procurement plans for two key procurement areas that minimise the number, distance and disruptiveness of motorised vehicle trips within the city, and maximise the proportion of these trips made by zero emission vehicles (ZEVs).
The BuyZET project aimed to understand the impact of this spending on transportation
flows in EU urban areas, to see how procurement may be used to best support
the shift to sustainable mobility:
Achieving efficient, regulated and less congested mobility
Reducing CO2 emissions
Minimising local emissions of particulate matter (PM), nitrous oxide (NOx) and noise
Meeting ever stricter public budgets.
The overall objective will be the development of a zero emission procurement plans for urban delivery of goods and services for each core city within the consortium – Rotterdam, Oslo and Copenhagen – which will include specific plans for future Public procurement of innovation (PPI) and pre-commercial procurement (PCP) tenders, and will identify opportunities for collaboration with other purchasing bodies at the regional, national or European level.
