The training is primarily targeted at public procurers, including ministries, municipalities, housing funds and other contracting authorities responsible for planning and implementing construction and infrastructure projects.
The objective of the event is to support public authorities in moving from general sustainability ambitions towards concrete implementation of circular economy principles in procurement practice. Particular attention is given to aligning procurement procedures with evolving regulatory frameworks and EU policy objectives related to green and circular transition.
The training will address key topics such as:
- systematic integration of circular and environmental criteria into tender documentation,
- application of lifecycle costing (LCC) and lifecycle assessment (LCA),
- practical interpretation of the Slovenian green public procurement framework (ZeJN 2025),
- development of technical specifications and award criteria that promote circular construction solutions,
- common challenges faced by contracting authorities and practical approaches to overcoming them.
The session is designed as an interactive workshop with a limited number of participants (up to 20), enabling in-depth discussion, exchange of experiences and direct engagement with experts.
The training is delivered in cooperation with legal experts from the law firm Potočnik and Partners, who provide practical legal guidance and case-based insights into the implementation of circular and green public procurement.
This event is part of a broader series of capacity-building activities under CE-PRINCE, aimed at strengthening cooperation between public authorities and the private sector, reducing market barriers and enabling more effective uptake of circular solutions in public investments.
Participation is free of charge.
