Governance Sustainable procurement

Together with the Länder, the Centre operates a central information platform in addition to the advice it provides via a telephone hotline and by email. It also offers training on sustainable procurement and on human rights in procurement. A joint further training initiative between the Federation and the Länder was established in 2023, based within the Centre of Excellence, with the aim of intensifying further training activities in the Länder in order to make sustainability in procurement the norm. Particularly in view of the digital transformation, alternative forms of support for public contracting authorities are to be promoted.
