초록보기

In South Africa, public procurement accounted for about 15% of GDP in 2021 (Simone & Balasundharam, 2023), presenting a significant opportunity to leverage this purchasing power for sustainable development. As shown by governments worldwide, public procurement can reduce environmental impacts and support markets in shifting to sustainable practices by incorporating environmental considerations into the purchasing of goods, services, and infrastructure.

Although South Africa does not have specific legislation for green public procurement (GPP), existing regulations allow procurers to integrate environmental considerations into procurement practices. The new Public Procurement Act (2024) marks a notable shift in this area, enabling procurers to implement measures that promote sustainable development. Several procurers and policy-makers are pioneering GPP initiatives at provincial and municipal levels. The Western Cape Government and the City of Cape Town’s initiatives demonstrate GPP’s feasibility in South Africa, showing tangible environmental benefits, for instance, through reduced water use, energy consumption, and waste generation.

Despite this progress, significant challenges remain. Procurement practitioners often lack the expertise and resources for implementing GPP. The adoption of GPP faces additional hurdles including regulatory gaps, financial constraints, and perception of high costs. In addition, small, medium, and micro enterprises (SMMEs) face difficulties in meeting sustainability requirements. South Africa also lacks a robust monitoring system for GPP, which makes it difficult to track progress and identify areas for improvement.
