Would you like to receive support on how to implement circular criteria in your tenders? Do you want to join Communities of Practices to exchange your experiences with other procurers and experts? Would you like to join a Professional Network of Public Authorities interested in Public Procurement of Innocation (PPI)? Thanks to its work on capacity building activities and knowledge sharing within different projects on circular and innovative public procurement, ACR+ is now able to provide you support in this field.

Several outputs of the ProCirc are already available, such as professional publications, a circular procurement toolbox with tools, methods and knowledge to integrate circularity in all process phases, or the compilation of pilot case studies gathering main barriers and lessons learnt. You can also join on-going activities like the procurer-to-procurer learning program or the project’s workshops!

ACR+ is also working on sustainability and innovation of procurement processes by coordinating the BRINC project which will unlock the potential of cross-border PPI by establishing a European hub for PPI in the circular economy. Amongst other activities, BRINC will facilitate the identification of public innovation needs, conduct market consultations to identify market capabilities and potential solutions, and help public buyers tap into the innovative capacity of SMEs.
