CALLS FOR ACTION
Responsible public procurement online database : data collection
ENSIE is collecting best practices and examples from public authorities that used reserved contracts and/or social considerations of the EU Directive 2014/24/EU for WISEs. If you are in contact with your public authorities and your city has such good practices or if your members have collaborations with public authorities for goods/services provision, please do not hesitate to share it with Patrizia so we can upload it on our online SPP database and inspire other cities across Europe.

If interested, please contact Baptiste.
