Engaging the Market - GPP webinar on 24 November 2015 Engaging the market was the topic of the EU GPP Helpdesk's most recent webinar. The event took place on 24 November 2015 and consisted of a series of presentations from across Europe. The webinar looked at how market engagement is a tool increasingly used in green public procurement (GPP), helping procurers to purchase more sustainable goods and services.

In this section, you can access to the latest technical information related to the FUTURE project topic.

Market engagement allows procurers to engage the market before launching a public tender, and develop a better understanding of what sustainable solutions are currently available. The webinar looked at a number of key legal issues which need to be considered before, during, and after a market engagement process, including a presentation from a public authority on how market engagement enabled them to purchase a particularly sustainable service, and how market engagement can help suppliers to foresee the future needs of public authorities, and meet these needs with more sustainable solutions.
