“…As debated by Bohari et al, (2017), implementing green procurement has become an exacting issue due to lack of knowledge on the determinants and development of environmental criteria. This is also supported by other researchers such as Fischer (2010), Kahlenborn et al, (2014) and Buniamin et al, (2016) that revealed the vital need to acknowledge the environmental parameters in pre-construction, construction and post-construction phases. This clearly shows that green procurement is still not favourable and many still depend on the traditional or general procurement.…”

In the concern of sustainability and increasing awareness of environmental degradation, the Malaysian government has promoted numerous initiatives on green growth and green procurement (GP) to maintain and minimize the ecological effects in construction. However, this initiative is still in the infancy stage as to date, there is no specific guideline delineated to the construction industry, and it has yet to be enforced by the government to the construction practitioners. In construction, green procurement is a new area, and immediate actions are needed upon the principles, guidelines, and policy and implementation framework. Hence, this research aims to analyse the readiness level, barriers, and key catalysts among construction enablers towards adopting green procurement in the construction industry. Questionnaires were distributed to 102 construction enablers, focusing on quantity surveying firms in the Klang Valley area (Kuala Lumpur and Selangor), and 87 returned the responses. The analysis uses descriptive statistics via mean score, and the standard deviation was used to measure the variables and the mean's dispersion. It is revealed that the consultants are ready to adopt green procurement. However, GP's implementation's top challenges are lack of internal expertise, low awareness about green procurement, and lack of established best practices, standardized procedures and guidelines. It can be summarized that promoting GP and its implementation requires government support in policies, initiatives, and incentives. As the current practice is fragmented, ideally, GP's adoption in construction projects needs to conform to the acceptable standards that enable specific provisions to acquire eco-friendly sustainable construction.

“…Para Buniamin et al (2016), com o aumento das questões ambientais, as práticas de compras públicas sustentáveis, de forma eficaz, está sendo cada vez mais exigida. Para esses autores "tais práticas podem ajudar a promover a meta de desenvolvimento sustentável e abordar questões ambientais através de compras e facilitando o uso de produtos e serviços ambientalmente amigáveis" (Buniamin et al, 2016, p. 33) O ICLEI 2019, uma rede global comprometida com o desenvolvimento sustentável em todos os países, criou o programa Rede Global de Cidades Líderes em Compras Sustentáveis (Global Lead City Network on Sustainable Procurement), que atualmente conta com 14 cidades, que se comprometeram a conduzir uma transição do estado atual de consumo e produção para estes de forma mais sustentável, através da implementação de compras sustentáveis e inovadoras.…”

Toda pesquisa tem seu início com a construção de uma base de conhecimento a respeito de determinado assunto, para isso, o pesquisador realiza uma análise de publicações científicas e literárias, que embasam seu estudo. O Mapeamento Sistemático da Literatura é um estudo secundário, que foi utilizado para esse trabalho com o intuito de buscar uma literatura que identificasse pesquisas relacionadas a abordagens de apoio para a rastreabilidade de temas que envolvam, de uma forma geral, compras públicas sustentáveis e responder questões sobre tendências de pesquisas na área. Sendo assim, objetivo deste artigo é relatar os resultados do estudo realizado. O intuito era criar uma base inicial para fundamentar a pesquisa com tema específico sobre compras públicas sustentáveis, assim como, elaborar um catálogo de pesquisas que poderão servir de base para futuras pesquisas sobre algum tema dentro do assunto relacionado ao desenvolvimento sustentável. Para uma utilização correta do mapeamento sistemático (MS), foi necessário o desenvolvimento de três etapas que são: planejamento da revisão, condução da revisão e o relatório da revisão. As publicações foram analisadas e as que se destacavam em relação aos assuntos referentes ao desenvolvimento sustentável e gestão sustentável, de maneira a contribuir, assim como relacionados a compras ou contratações sustentáveis, compras e contratações públicas sustentáveis e que de alguma forma geravam um desafio para o estudo, foram selecionados. Foram apresentados os resultados, onde o processo de busca retornou 6.763 estudos, dos quais 306 estudos relevantes inicialmente foram selecionados. Esses estudos, após a extração, diminuíram para 111 estudos classificadas como relevantes e de qualidade, que formaram uma base inicial para a pesquisa. Os estudos selecionados apresentaram alguns desafios e apresentaram investigações sobre economia circular e gerenciamento de cadeia de suprimentos verdes, os quais apresentaram imaturidade em suas áreas de pesquisa e podem ser temas para futuros trabalhos.

“…In Malaysia, sustainability and green growth in the building project's planning has been addressed in the Construction Industry Transformation Plan (CITP) 2016-2020 and 11 th Malaysia Plan (2016)(2017)(2018)(2019)(2020). To cater the sustainability agenda, the Malaysian government has promoted the awareness of green growth and the concept of government green procurement (GGP) as a method to maintain and minimize the environmental effects (Adham et al, 2015;Buniamin et al, 2016;Kahlenborn et al, 2014). This plan refers to the purchase of products, services and related works in the public sector that take into account environmental criteria to conserve the environment and natural resources, and minimize and mitigate the negative impacts of human activities (Bohari et al, 201;Musa et al, 2013).…”

Sustainability has emerged as a critical concern in any viable physical planning and development. Hence, the Malaysian government has promoted the concept of green procurement also known as Government Green Procurement (GGP) that aims to minimize environmental degradation. In GGP, life cycle perspective thinking is introduced where life-cycle cost (LCC) tools act as decision-making in controlling the initial and future value of building ownership. Despite the increasing importance of green procurement and LCC in the planning phase of green projects, the viability and implementation of LCC is still lacking. Many have stated the benefits of LCC in green procurement for green building projects, however the criteria of LCC are not clearly determined. The study aims to determine the important level of LCC components relating to the green project planning phase. Questionnaire survey was distributed to 50 respondents composed of project team members that were involved in the selected green government projects. 32 respondents returned their responses to the survey. The results revealed that the highest rank of LCC components in green procurement is energy consumption cost, greenhouse gas (GHG) savings cost, acquisition cost, energy simulation cost and utilities cost. These results would elevate the use of LCC in the green procurement adoption and viability of green projects.
