Amharc ar fhreagraThe Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) in collaboration with the Department of Environment, Climate and Communications and the Office of Government Procurement developed a template to facilitate the monitoring and reporting of Green Public Procurement (GPP) by government departments. This template includes details relating to contracts issued over €25,000 by priority sector which have incorporated GPP. My Department has completed and submitted this template to the EPA.
As per Circular 20/2019, GPP details will be included in our 2020 Annual Report that will be published on my Department's website later this year.
