Open SPP FAQs
In 2005, the Government of The Netherlands set up PIANOo, a knowledge network for government procurement officers and contracting authorities. PIANOo was created with the aim of professionalizing procurement, seeking to improve efficiency and compliance.
It also now incorporates a specific section on Sustainable Public Procurement (SPP), offering learning materials, guidance, and a criteria tool for public authorities to identify possible environmental requirements to include in tendering processes.
The expertise center includes information regarding best practice exchange meetings amongst procurement practitioners.
