“…The basic concept of GPP is based on the introduction of common environmental standards for technical specifications, award criteria, as well as contract performance clauses. Consistent application of GPP can lead to mutually beneficial situations where the reduction of environmental burdens is associated with a reduction in the related costs [34]. In other words, reducing environmental burdens through the green criteria set out in procurement may be reflected in future reductions in government spending on health care or environmental remediation.…”

Sustainable Public Procurement in Central European Countries. Can It Also Bring Savings?

The efficiency of public resource use and its strategic framework with respect to sustainable public procurement policies, such as the most economically advantageous tender (hereafter MEAT), has become an important topic nowadays. Therefore, the study examines the determinants of savings creation within MEAT in Central European countries. It uses a dataset published in the Tenders Electronic Daily database in 2017–2018 about contract award notices and carries out a generalized linear model to study the determinants of savings creation within MEAT. The findings suggest that when services are procured within MEAT, the savings are considerably higher than compared to works. If the framework agreement takes place in a procurement process, the savings are significantly smaller. In cases where the subject of procurement is not co-financed by EU funds, the savings are higher than in the case that they are. If an open type of procurement is used, the savings are seemingly smaller than in cases where a non-open type of procurement takes place. When the contract is awarded to a single supplier, the savings are higher than otherwise. A higher number of total offers, as well as a higher number of offers from small and medium-sized enterprises, induce higher savings. It can be concluded that the use of sustainable public procurement subtly reduces the creation of savings.

“…Second, the coordination models in different types of relief operations are also worthy of further investigation. We can also consider in the future an investigation regarding the intersections with the Green Public Procurement [81,82] and Green Procurement in the private sector [83,84]. Furthermore, it is necessary to consider how to optimize resource utilization in the horizontal coordination framework.…”

Disasters accompanied by heavy casualties and huge economic losses directly result in the disruption or delay of economic development. Considering the urgent need for reducing losses and accelerating the process of social recovery, international nongovernment organizations (INGOs) and local NGOs (LNGOs) with different resource endowments should achieve organizational coordination to improve the relief efficiency and sustainability of the humanitarian supply chain. Due to conflicting interests and expectations, this coordination is hard to achieve. In this study, we first establish an evolutionary game model between INGOs and LNGOs to determine the influencing factors and explore the interaction of NGOs in a dynamic way. Our results show that: (1) coordination by resource sharing can improve the sustainability of the humanitarian supply chain; (2) coordination willingness is affected by the behavior of other players, which can nevertheless achieve equilibrium under certain conditions; and (3) the important factors and optimal strategies of players are highlighted in the dynamic model. This study provides several insights into the theory of organizational coordination in the humanitarian supply chain regarding sustainability.

“…Por outro lado, a ineficiência das contratações públicas "verdes" pode ser reduzida se o processo de adjudicação exigir menores custos marginais de proteção ambiental, o que permitiria certa igualdade entre as empresas participantes 109 -especialmente quando se considera, ao menos no âmbito do espaço europeu, que as contratações públicas "verdes" não têm fronteiras, ou seja, são abertas a empresas privadas de todos os países que compõem a União Europeia 110 .…”

O presente artigo pretende verificar, na adjudicação dos contratos públicos celebrados entre os anos de 2010 e 2014, se o administrador público português priorizou fatores econômicos-o que estaria em acordo com o momento de crise econômica atual em que a redução dos gastos públicos se apresenta como elemento fundamental para a administração pública-ou se priorizou fatores socioambientais-o que estaria em acordo com as diretivas de 2004 e de 2014 acerca da contratação pública, nas quais o papel do Estado aparece como fundamental na proteção ao meio ambiente e na promoção da retomada do crescimento econômico. Para atingir tal objetivo, estruturou-se o texto em três partes principais. A primeira traz a inserção dos critérios socioambientais nas diretivas de 2004 e sua transposição para o ordenamento jurídico português, além de breve análise acerca das inovações trazidas pelas diretivas de 2014. Na segunda parte, faz-se a apresentação da estratégia Europa 2020 e do Memorando de Entendimento sobre as Condicionalidades da Política Econômica de Portugal, documentos que em princípio podem se apresentar como contraditórios por defenderem, respectivamente, o maior e o menor papel do Estado na economia. Ainda na segunda parte apresentam-se pontos positivos e negativos acerca da contratação pública sustentável. Por fim, na terceira parte são analisados relatórios dos contratos públicos celebrados por Portugal em 2010 e em 2013 e, ainda, analisam-se 162 anúncios de contratos públicos divulgados no período, com o objetivo de verificar o peso dos critérios socioambientais em tais contratos. A conclusão à qual se chegou é que os critérios econômicos vinculados à redução do gasto público foram preponderantes na adjudicação dos contratos públicos celebrados no período analisado, com os critérios socioambientais tendo sido relegados a segundo plano-isto quando estiveram presentes. Palavras-chave: Contratação pública sustentável. Crise econômica. Gasto público. Diretivas europeias de contratação. Contratos públicos.
