Do you have a potential interest in procuring new innovative solutions in the coming years?
If your answer is yes, the European Commission is gathering data from key public procurers to prioritize more efficiently the existing needs! So by filling-in the Public Procurer survey on our website, we will be one step closer towards that goal http://eafip.eu/resources/procurer_survey/
Er bestaat de politieke wens om opdrachten, ook > € 750.000,--, één op één te gunnen aan ons eigen SW bedrijf. Het SW bedrijf is een GR samen met 5 andere gemeenten. Onder de gewijzigde aanbestedingswet 2012 zou dat kunnen als quasi inbesteden volgens artikel 2.24b zoals Mat Jacobs al heeft gemeld. Onze GR voldoet niet aan die voorwaarden. Ook het voorbehouden aan SW bedrijven, i.h.a. komt dat neer op voorbehouden aan het eigen SW bedrijf, lijkt nu ook niet meer te kunnen volgens het nieuw...
Dear all,

I highly recommend the compact factsheets of the InnProBio consortium to get a quick and usefull overview of important questions about bio-based products.
Attached is a factsheet about myths and facts of...

Wil jij mijn directe collega worden?
Here's what one SPLC member organization (a U.S. city) said in response to me forwarding this query:
Green Standards partners with Herman Miller on their RePurpose program - but who also provides a reuse/recycling service separate from the RePurpose program. Very nice program, but I don't know if they operate in the UK. They work with local markets for charities, sale/reuse, and recycling - and have robust online reporting.
