Description
The first European Commission’s Green Public Procurement (GPP) Helpdesk webinar of 2024 focused on the professionalisation of public procurement.
The webinar explored the training programmes, professional development support and tools that exist at national and EU level to assist public purchasers. By examining the lessons learned from these programmes and projects, the webinar has highlighted what more can be done to embed the public procurement profession. It also presented how formalising the work of public purchasers can contribute to making public spending more efficient.
The webinar first presented initiatives and projects at EU level that support public purchasers. This was followed by speakers presenting examples of good practices and lessons learned in several countries, such as Malta, Estonia and Portugal, showing the tangible benefits of these efforts.
