As part of their strategy, they prioritized procurement categories, and developed standardized green criteria for 30 product categories. To decide what criteria to include, they organized thematic discussion forums with industry organizations, and potential regional suppliers, and assessed the current level of compliance with the proposed criteria (the European Union’s GPP criteria).
As a result, they created three levels of criteria for each product category: basic, advanced and excellence. The aim of these levels was to use Green Public Procurement (GPP) as an instrument to promote the sustainability work already being done by regional suppliers, while encouraging them to comply with higher levels of green criteria. As over 90% of regional companies are SMEs, this strategy also helped to ensure that these companies were not left out of GPP procurement opportunities.
The Basque Country’s Green Procurement and Contracting Programme 2030 shows that in 2020 62% of all public contracts containing environmental criteria were awarded to Basque companies.
