The selection of public procurement contractors in the field of construction is an object of economic and civil interest both in Bulgaria and around the world. The spending of significant financial resources for the construction of buildings and technical infrastructure requires the Contracting Authorities to prepare and apply clear rules and procedures in determining the companies executing construction projects. According to data from the Centralized Automated Information System "Electronic Public Procurement" (CAIS EOP), the construction contracts concluded in Bulgaria through public procurement are worth BGN 1.3 billion for 2020 and BGN 2.6 billion for 2021, which forms respectively 54% and 34% of the total number of concluded contracts by public procurement. In the construction sector, public procurement has a significant impact on the environmentalization of the industry. "The sustainable use of natural resources" considers the durability of constructions and the use of environmentally friendly raw materials, the possibility of recycling of constructions, materials and their parts left after demolition. In this regard, sustainable public procurement introduces environmental considerations in the design, negotiation, and monitoring of construction projects. The application of environmental / green "criteria" in tendering procedures should become a mandatory requirement for all public authorities. This report analyzes the need to implement sustainable public procurement for construction of buildings in Bulgaria. It outlines the limitations for Contracting Authorities and Contractors for conducting and participating in procedures aimed at realizing environmentally sustainable construction projects.
