How can this guide help you ?
Instantly understand the expectations of government buyers
You’ll identify which sections include “sustainability” criteria and how government agencies weigh each criterion: environmental, social, and local economic.
Turn Your CSR Strengths into Competitive Advantages
The best-practice tables directly link your actions (energy, mobility, responsible procurement) to the French-speaking Swiss evaluation criteria; you know exactly where to focus your efforts to gain those final, decisive percentage points.
Save time with pre-drafted clauses and evidence
The included templates cover certifications, metrics, and supporting documentation. You can respond quickly and with solid evidence, without having to reinvent each technical appendix.
The 3 key topics covered in the guide:
1 – Understanding the legal framework and sustainability criteria: This document reviews the Federal Public Procurement Act (LMP) and its implementing ordinance, the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs 12 & 15), and the recommendations of the Federal Office for the Environment (FOEN). You’ll gain a clear overview of the obligations and areas where you have flexibility to offer environmental and social benefits.
2 – Best practices for maximizing sustainability points: You’ll learn a three-step methodology: preliminary analysis of requirements, justification based on measurable criteria (e.g., FSC/PEFC-certified wood), and monitoring and evaluation using quantitative indicators. Each best practice is accompanied by examples and implementation tips—from using the PAP platform to regular audits such as Boussole21.
3 – Common Challenges… and Proven Solutions: Initial costs , administrative complexity, lack of expertise—the guide details the most common obstacles and presents concrete solutions. From grants such as the Buildings Program to the use of standardized formats (the Romandy Guide, FOEN) or targeted training—you’ll learn how to overcome each obstacle without overburdening your teams.
