Recognizing the Green Public Procurement (GPP) Roadmap and Adopting the Technical Specifications for the Ten (10) Common-Use Supplies and Equipment and Ten (10) Non-Common-Use Supplies and Equipment (GPPB Resolution No 25-2017)

The ultimate goal of the GPP Roadmap of the Philippines is to establish a GPP program for all departments, bureaus, offices and agencies of the government, including the local government units. Establishing GPP systematically will create a growing market for the green supplies and equipment in the Philippines. It anchors on the privilege of government to regulate the market where it's necessary, to incentivize, to inform and to guide the market players. Through public procurement, governments are themselves important players in the market. Greening governments' demands and procuring items with green specifications are strong signals to the suppliers, vendors and merchants to venture into the green enterprise. By going green, governments take on a leading role to convert the market to a green market. The GPP Roadmap will cover CSEs, which are centrally purchased through the DBM-PS and non-CSEs directly purchased by the various government stakeholders. The implementation of GPP will become the norm of public procurement in the medium to long term, and provides an outlook to possible long-term perspectives into Sustainable Public Procurement. Meanwhile, the technical specifications for the ten (10) Common-Use Supplies and Equipment (CSE) and ten (10) Non-CSE attached as Annex "A" to the GPP Roadmap provides the standard technical specifications to be adopted by procuring entities for the procurement of prioritized GPP CSE and Non-CSE Items and the corresponding verification procedure for each item.
