Harnessing Public Procurement for the Green Transition
Good Practices in OECD Countries
This report presents the results of the 2022 OECD Green Public Procurement (GPP) Survey, to which 38 countries (OECD Member and accession candidate countries) responded. The aim of the survey was to better understand how public procurement, a significant economic lever, is being used to generate environmental benefits. The report is organized around four areas: green public procurement policy and strategic framework, public-private interactions on green public procurement, the monitoring and the evaluation of green public procurement, and building capacity and support for green public procurement. Developments in GPP since the survey was completed in 2022 are included in the country-specific factsheets annexed to the report.
Slovak Republic
The (2019) National Strategy for Environmental Policy until 2030 recognises the potential of GPP to support green innovation and the country’s transition towards a circular economy. The Strategy sets the target to implement GPP in at least 70% of the total number and value of public procurement contracts. To ensure success, GPP will be made mandatory for central government authorities, self-governing regions, and municipalities. The mandatory requirement to use GPP will initially be limited to a selected number of product groups, which will gradually expand to reach the target set by 2030. Moreover, the electronic system for public procurement will help disseminate information of GPP and monitor implementation.
