Master Class in Sustainable Public Procurement

Sustainable procurement is a process of procuring products and services that have a lower impact on the environment from production to disposal, taking into account social, ecological and economic aspects. The call for sustainable procurement is clearly recognisable both for regularly procured goods in administrations, such as paper and office supplies, office equipment, furniture or electricity, as well as for services such as IT services, cleaning services, maintenance of heating systems or the management of canteens. Our Master Class is designed to equip procurement experts with the best practices in the implementation of procurement procedures to foster sustainability.

Participants receive a certificate upon participation.

Methodology

A Master Class is a high-level event for professionals and officials involved in Public Procurement. The purpose of the Master Class is to review important developments in Public Procurement case law and the decisional practice of the European Commission, assess their implications for the Member States and public authorities and to solve your problems in Public Procurement cases. Participants are encouraged to submit a summary of the problem or case they want to present for discussion in advance. This information will of course be treated confidentially.

The sessions will combine presentations, case studies and discussion on practical issues. You will have ample opportunities to present your own issues and discuss them with speakers and participants from other countries.

Review and Assessment

On the first day, you receive an expert review of the latest Court rulings and Commission decisions. Seminal judgments and decisions are analysed in depth. The analysis identifies how principles are applied in specific situations, delineates possible exceptions and draws out the implications for Public Procurement policies.

Problem Solving

The second day is devoted to cases and questions submitted by participants. Public Procurement problems and other issues from the daily practice of participants are discussed and difficulties resolved.

Best Practices

On both days, the format of this advanced small-scale Master Class enables you to consider wider issues of relevance to officials and practitioners involved in Public Procurement. You can exchange information and experience with professionals from other countries.

Master Class materials are available for download after the event.
