Good practice:

Green Public Procurement (GPP) monitoring system of the Metropolitan City of Rome Capital

The system provides for the interaction between the procurement managers, the heads of Department IV (GPP Coordination Group) and accounting managers.
The responsible officials must insert the environmental criteria in the procurement procedures for the goods, services and works that fall within the product categories identified as priorities by the Action Plan.
The heads of Department IV use the data reported on the internal information system (SID) to carry out a periodic reporting of GPP implementation and carry out random checks in order to verify that the environmental criteria are used correctly and that the information on the green public procurement is entered correctly.
They have visibility of GPP attachments on the SID and can change the information entered by procurement managers. They provide technical support for the inclusion of environmental criteria in the tender documentation.
Accounting managers verify that the process of entering information on SID by procurement managers is correct and that the documentation included contains the relevant regulatory references.
Over the years the system has been applied and also tested in order to improve its effectiveness, achieving a shared system between the departments involved in the procurement phases.

internal resources for thematic working groups

Real-time reporting, uniformity of information collected from different sectors, automatic sharing of information with all officials that interact with the system have led to an objective simplification in the measurement of their environmental performance, making the monitoring of the GPP an integrated and obligatory step to proceed for each purchase by the entity.

The monitoring system of the Metropolitan City of Rome has allowed the institution to benefit from a series of organizational advantages which have led to an objective simplification in the measurement of their environmental performance.
