The adoption of green criteria and requirements in every public contract, contributes significantly to the achievement of better, more efficient and more environmentally friendly results, with limited resources.
By enlarging the Covenant of Mayors initiative and progressing the implementation of Sustainable Energy Action Plans across Europe, it is imperative to increase energy efficiency.
The plan for the creation of Supporters for Green Public Procurement (GPP) is being developed in such a way that public organizations and local authorities focus their attention on GPP and Life Cycle Costs when purchasing products or services.
To enhance this effort, the Cyprus Energy Agency is designated as GPP (Green Public Procurement Supporter) and in cooperation with the Environmental Department, provides the contracting authorities with:
- update
- Technical Support
- GPP training
- Standard GPP tender documents
- Organization of Annual PDS Awards
- Participation in the Advisory Committee on GPP
- Manuals for PDS:
