Sustainability and circularity as a starting point for ICT procurement - Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy, Netherlands
|
|
The Dutch government’s “Procurement with Impact” strategy aims to make ten business categories circular by 2023. As part of this initiative, the Ministry of Economic Affairs and Climate Policy initiated five public procurement procedures in 2021 to purchase all ICT hardware for the national offices and employees of the central government. The Ministry launched a pre-market consultation to identify which sustainability and circularity goals and requirements would produce an additional impact whilst being accepted by the market. The subsequent sustainability, circular and CSR goals were translated into specific tender requirements and award criteria.
