Handbook for INGP Public Procurers / Manual para Agentes de Compras Públicas de las RICG

The Handbook for INGP Public Procurers is a guide designed to help government procurers in Latin America and the Caribbean implement Sustainable Public Procurement (SPP) to foster inclusive green growth and reshape markets.

• Sustainable Public Procurement (SPP) aims to minimize environmental impact and maximize positive social impacts through the products and services governments purchase. By redesigning procurement policies, governments can achieve efficiency gains, financial and energy savings, improved service access, and better working conditions.
• The handbook provides guidance on creating procurement policies and preferential purchasing programs specifically intended to include women-owned enterprises, minority suppliers, and SMEs. It advocates for the integration of social and environmental criteria throughout the entire procurement cycle, including contract conditions, award criteria, technical specifications, and supplier qualification.
• Developed in cooperation with the Inter-American Network for Government Procurement (INGP), which consists of public procurement authority directors from 34 countries in the Americas, the handbook serves as a tool for implementing SPP in the Latin American and Caribbean region to catalyze inclusive green growth.
