Following this introduction and baseline on key features of GPP, good practice examples and how to pack it in a regionally adapted trainin...

Institutional needs on GPP and Good and bad practices
GreenS project has analyzed institutional needs and good and bad practices on GPP. In general, the results indicate that there is a lack of interconnections between the GPP policies and the actions performed at the national level, and the real practice and GPP employment among public sector officials responsible for procurement. It simply seems that despite all efforts to convey national GPP policy, information is not reaching the main tar...

Beste Hugo,
Bij HTM werken we al vele jaren met een erkenningsregeling, naar tevredenheid.
Wat jij gunningsdeel noemt, is waarschijnlijk de beslissing om een partij wel of niet toe te laten tot de erkenningsregeling. Hiervoor kun je alle standaard geschiktheidseisen hanteren (uitsluitingsgronden, financiële draagkracht, referenties, certificaten, etc.). Aan te raden is niet al te strenge eisen te stellen, omdat je dan de concurrentie te veel zou kunnen beperken.
Het is ook aan te raden...
