Environmental aspects of public procurement in transport sector

Each year European public authorities spend a significant amount of the EU gross domestic product in public procurement of goods, services and works related to transport. Public procurement, being a policy strategy instrument, must integrate environmental considerations in the contract award procedures. The paper analyses environmental impacts of transport, the environmental aspects of 2014 EU Procurement Directives and their capacity to contribute to the reduction of adverse environmental effects in the sector of transport. The new legislation should pursue various efficient alternatives competing to provide the most environmentally friendly solutions. The authors put forward the proposal for implementation and future development of procurement legislation and present barriers and recommendation in its implementation.
