As a purchaser, the local government challenges the market while setting a good example. As a customer, it issues tenders for circular works, services, and supplies.

Public procurement refers to the purchase of goods and services by the public sector. This can range from the purchase of everyday office supplies to services and large-scale urban infrastructure projects. Integrating circular economy criteria into public procurement policy and practice can promote the circular design, supply, management, and servicing of goods.
