Green Public Procurement Criteria for Office Building Design, Construction and Management. Procurement practice guidance document

Abstract

The development of GPP criteria for Office Building design, construction and management aims at helping public authorities to ensure that projects are procured and implemented with higher environmental standards. The aim of this document is to provide simplified guidance to procurers, estate managers and project teams on how to procure an environmentally improved office building. The guidance has been structured to reflect the distinct phases of activity that may be involved, as well as the most common forms of contracts that are used.
