Programma
The course will elaborate a thorough reasoning on the actual functioning of the mechanisms of green public procurement and on the possible normative and administrative improvements towards the principle of sustainable development.
The strategic sense of the regulation of the public procurement market will be proposed as a general framework of the analysis. Subsequently, the main principles of public procurement will be discussed, in light of the macro-principle of sustainable development.
It will then be possible to discuss the techniques that awarding authorities actually use to implement green values in the public tender. Particular attention will be devoted to the use of minimum environmental criteria at a national and European level.
Lastly, the shift from green to social public procurement will be described as a new perspective of the normative on public contracts.
During the course, concrete examples of public tenders will be provided and documents of European and national relevance will be discussed in order to let the juridical complexities embedded in their application emerge.
