The workshop titled “Structuring tenders with circular and sustainable criteria” has been organised by the Chamber of Construction and Building Materials Industry (ZGIGM) and the Real Estate Business Chamber (ZPN) within the Interreg Central Europe project CE-PRINCE – Circular Economy Principles in Public Procurement.
The training targets public procurers and decision-makers responsible for construction investments, including municipalities, public housing funds and public institutions managing public procurement procedures.
The workshop addresses key challenges that public authorities face when introducing environmental and circular economy criteria into procurement procedures, particularly in construction projects.
Participants will explore:
• the legal framework of green and circular public procurement
• integration of sustainability criteria into tender documentation
• the use of Life-Cycle Costing (LCC) in procurement decisions
• practical tools for preparing procurement documentation
• approaches to reduce legal risks in procurement procedures
The event also aims to highlight the importance of aligning procurement practices with the new Slovenian Green Public Procurement Decree and broader EU sustainability objectives.
The training has been organised in cooperation with Potočnik & Partners Law Firm, which provided legal expertise and practical insights on applying circular procurement criteria in practice.
This event marks the beginning of a series of ten CE-PRINCE training events in Slovenia, designed to strengthen the capacities of both public authorities and companies to implement circular economy principles in procurement and construction projects.
Participation is free of charge as the event was co-financed by the European Union through the Interreg Central Europe programme.
