Green Public Procurement (GPP) plays an important role in facing the challenge of reducing
the environmental impacts from construction sector-related products, services and works, and
creating environmental and innovative value for society in favour of a greener and more
sustainable economy. The European Commission recently developed GPP criteria for the
“office buildings” category. In parallel, Building Sustainability Assessment (BSA) tools help
estimate a building’s impact on the environment based on a life cycle approach. Many of the
aspects and measurable indicators included in BSA tools are clearly related to the criteria
covered by GPP. However, other important ones are missing and should be integrated to
ensure green procurement initiatives. This study critically reviews the GPP criteria proposed
for office buildings and crosschecks them with the sustainability indicators included in three
BSA tools to reinforce the GPP framework for the office buildings sector. It provides, on the
one hand, an evaluation of the rate of improvement achieved in the tools when applying GPP
criteria and, on the other, a proposal for a weighting system for awarding points to the offers
in tenders. The results will help contracting authorities to introduce more objectivity into the
tendering process and to make informed decisions while evaluating bidders’ proposals. [-]
