From 25 to 27 May, the partners of the LCA4Regions project joined together on the 4th transnational learning journey (TLJ) to exchange life cycle experiences in public procurement. There were 3 intense sessions of which we are convinced will have a great impact in Navarra, both in the preparation of the Green Public Procurement Plan and in future tenders by public administrations.
On Friday 11 June from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m., we want to convey this knowledge to stakeholders in Navarra. We will explain what green public procurement is and why to use it, what regulatory actions are being carried out in Slovenia and Finland, and specific tenders will be presented from the project partners: Navarra, Lithuania, Finland, Portugal, Italy, Slovenia and Poland. Subsequently, the CPEN Purchasing Director will comment on what type of green contracting they carry out and which ideas they have taken from the event of the TLJ to apply them in the future. The meeting will conclude with a debate on the barriers and challenges of public purchasing in Navarra.
