Method for the definition of mandatory Green Public Procurement requirements
The Ecodesign for Sustainable Products Regulation (ESPR), which aims to improve the environmental sustainability and circularity of products in the European market, entered into force on 18 July 2024. This report outlines the methodology for defining minimum mandatory Green Public Procurement (GPP) requirements under the ESPR. The ESPR framework sets performance and information requirements through product-specific Delegated Acts, using a scientific approach and considering relevant technical information.
A key feature of the ESPR is the possibility to set minimum mandatory GPP requirements for the purchase of products covered by delegated acts or for works or services where those products are used. These requirements are established through implementing acts in the form of Technical Specifications (TS), Award Criteria (AC), Contract Performance Conditions (CPC), or targets. The methodology developed in this report provides a structured approach to determine the advisability of GPP requirements, analyse their feasibility, assess their expected market impacts, and define the specific types of requirements.
