Adaptation and update of the administrative regulation 'Procurement and Environment – VwVBU'

With the adoption of the reform of the public procurement law by the German Federal Government, Green Public Procurement has gained additional significance. The adaptation of Public Procurement Law facilitates the procurement of environmentally sound products and services by allowing for particular reference to be made to quality and eco-labels for demonstating compliance with the requirements of these labels as regards the products' or services characteristics.

This change of legislation results in a need for revision of the administrative regulation 'Procurement and Environment' (VwVBU) for implementing the Berlin Public Tender and Procurement Act.
