“…Ecological construction materials are usually associated with innovation in manufacturing processes having incenting GPP with positive effects on a sustainable environment. GPP facilitates sustainable infrastructure for the agri-food sector (e.g., in rooftop farming) [59][60][61][62][63][64][65][66]…”

“…The lack of an integration framework for the promotion of e-procurement (eP) and sustainable procurement (SP) in the construction industry deprives opportunities to optimize the implementation of resources. Yu et al (2019) propose the development of an integration framework for the promotion of eP and SP in the construction industry [64]. The circular economy principles are met in a sustainable city in all of the building's development and utilization stages: (a) construction materials development process (all the actions needed in production from supply to transport and manufacturing), (b) edifice construction stage (the same actions as in stage a), (c) usage stage (renovation, conservation, energy losses, and restoration) and, (d) end-of-life (clearance and recycling).…”

Green and Sustainable Public Procurement—An Instrument for Nudging Consumer Behavior. A Case Study on Romanian Green Public Agriculture across Different Sectors of Activity

et al. 2020

Green Public Procurement (GPP) became an efficient instrument to achieve the objectives of environmental policy expressed by the European Commission in its Communications. At the same time, it must be addressed by the public authorities as a complex process, in which all purchased goods and services must integrate perfectly into an entire puzzle-like system of legislation, the construction field, innovation, healthcare, food, and education. Scientific references published in the Web of Science (WoS) mainly between 2017 and 2020 were investigated, and they analyze the implications of green public procurement in various fields, as presented by scientific communities. This article brings as a novelty in this context the identification of some barriers in the adoption of these processes, so that they can be overcome. Based on good practices and international standards and trends, the article shows how aspects related to the implementation of green procurement in society can be taken into account. In the second stage, we added a case study on Romanian green agriculture and discussions regarding inter-correlation between different fields and GPP.

“…Over the past decades, most research in procurement strategies has emphasised that there is a significant relationship between procurement strategies and social-economic growth of construction SMEs (Woldesenbet and Worthington, 2019; Patrucco et al , 2019; Windapo et al , 2019; Awuzie and McDermott, 2019; Yu et al , 2019; Da Costa and Da Motta, 2019). Naoum and Egbu (2015) observed that the integrated procurement strategy is useful in obtaining a higher market share and higher turnover.…”

Purpose This study aims to investigate the impacts of procurement strategies on the growing proportion of construction small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) and whether the size of the construction company moderates the effect. Design/methodology/approach This study adopted a quantitative research approach and a cross-sectional questionnaire survey in achieving its objectives. The survey requires the respondent to identify both the most successful and most outstanding project that the respondent was involved in between 2010 and 2016. Findings The study found that only traditional and management-oriented procurement strategies ensure the achievement of all growth plans for construction SMEs in South Africa; and that medium-sized construction enterprises achieve social growth such as community empowerment, managerial skills and advancement on the cidb Register of Contractors. Practical implications The findings of the study imply that policymakers should base their decisions regarding macroeconomic issues and growth plans for construction SMEs on the internal and external factors such as differences in the sizes of construction SMEs and differences in the suitability of procurement strategies affecting the growth of construction SMEs. Originality/value In past studies, the diversity amongst SMEs is often overlooked and SMEs are erroneously assumed to share similar objectives, possess equal capabilities and face challenges of the same magnitude. The original contribution of this study is shown in the investigation of the moderating effect of SMEs’ diversity (in terms of company size) on their growth proportion as influenced by procurement strategies.

“…Certificates issued by independent bodies may be needed to acknowledge that tenderers meet certain environmental management standards, for example, to be part of EMAS (Eco-Management and Audit Scheme) certification or other environmental management systems based on relevant European or international standards. However, the inclusion of environmental clauses in public procurement is not an easy task [8]. The object of the contract must, therefore, include protection of the environment [9].…”

The Budget as a Basis for Ecological Management of Urbanization Projects. Case Study in Seville, Spain

et al. 2021

Urbanization projects, understood as those supplying basic services for cities, such as drinking water, sewers, communication services, power, and lighting, are normally short-term extremely scattered actions, and it can be difficult to track their environmental impact. The present article’s main contribution is to employ the project budgets of public urbanization work to provide an instrument for environmental improvement, thereby helping public procurement, including sustainability criteria. Two urban projects in Seville, Spain are studied: the first substitutes existing services, and the second also includes gardens and playgrounds in the street margins. The methodology finds the construction elements that must be controlled in each project from the perspective of three indicators: carbon, water footprints, and embodied energy. The main impacts found are due to only four construction units: concrete, aggregates, asphalt, and ceramic pipes for the sewer system, that represent 70% or more of the total impact in all indicators studied. The public developer can focus procurement on those few elements in order to exert a lower impact and to significantly reduce the environmental burden of urbanization projects.
