Green public Procurement
Green Public Procurement (GPP) is an instrument designed specifically to promote environmentally-positive procurement practices, since it represents an efficient use of public finances and promotes environmental improvement.
As a major stakeholder in the management of waste in Malta and a provider of an environmental service itself, it is important for Wasteserv to ensure that the procured waste collection, transport and other related services be delivered in an environmentally friendly manner.
In order to ensure sustainable management of waste streams, Wasteserv routinely procures specialised waste transport and management services. Consequently the GPP criteria have been incorporated into the tenders issued by Wasteserv for the procurement of such waste collection services. The said criteria are based on the EU’s GPP criteria for all product groups and services.
By implementing GPP criteria in its tenders, Wasteserv has learned that the market can be influenced in a positive way and the procurement actions have been considered successful, bearing in mind that the tendering processes have involved criteria, which had not been used in previous tenders.
The implementation of this process resulted in the following impacts:
Hence introducing this practice has resulted in providing a cleaner and more environmentally-friendly service for the benefit of Wasteserv’s clients and the country as a whole.
