Open SPP FAQs
In 2016, Ecuador published its first Sustainable Procurement Action Plan (ES). The Plan includes on pages 20 to 22 information regarding the governance structure that has been put in place to assign responsibilities regarding SPP.
The leading public authority is the National Public Procurement Agency (SERCOP) with support from the Ministry of the Environment. These two will also receive support from a working group which includes other ministries, such as the Ministry of Economic and Social Inclusion (MIES), and the Ministry of Agriculture (MAGAP).
On page 28, a timeline with the activities that will be carried on during the first year of the plan is presented, assigning responsibilities to the different public authorities.
