Join us on Wednesday 8th of May for a half day virtual workshop on Green Public Procurement as part of our Sustainable Academy, sponsored by AIB. All companies now need to learn the green public procurement rules to bid and win new contracts with the public sector. This workshop will provide you with what you need to know and prepare.

Green Public Procurement (GPP) is a process where public authorities seek to source goods, services or works with a reduced environmental impact.


The Government’s GPP Strategy and Action Plan for 2024-2027 has been published, read more

For some contracts with immediate effect, and from 2025 all tenders over €50,000 must include sustainable end environment technical specifications and contract specific award criteria. 
This mandatory requirement is a game change for tenderers.
