Non-price Criteria for Public Procurement
Project, funded by the GIZ and jointly implemented by NGO GoLOCAL, the Ministry of Economic Development and Trade of Ukraine, the Ministry of Ecology and Natural Resources of Ukraine, SE “Prozorro”, and NGO “Zhyva Planeta”. The project aims at developing and launching a convenient electronic constructor to simplify the use of the non-price criteria by Ukrainian public procurement officers and other stakeholders interested in applying the sustainable methodology in Public Procurement.
The project objectives:
- Make public authorities realize that they are the major consumers and convince them to use their purchasing power to choose goods and services with lower impacts on the environment;
- Create a simple, electronic tool that will help customers use other criteria than the price;
- Increase the quality and safety of procurement items and the efficiency of spending money;
- Make an important contribution to sustainable consumption and production in Ukraine. Current results:
- Experts designed, developed and placed online tool (constructor) on the ProZorro platform;
