About Environmental Services Procurement

Environmental services procurement encompasses waste management, cleaning, and environmental protection services essential for maintaining public health and environmental quality worldwide. Under CPV division 90, this category includes municipal waste collection and disposal, recycling services, street cleaning and snow removal, sewage treatment operations, hazardous waste management, contaminated land remediation, building cleaning services, and environmental consulting.

Municipal and regional governments are the primary procurers of environmental services, managing waste collection contracts, operating recycling facilities, maintaining public spaces, and ensuring wastewater treatment compliance. The Circular Economy Action Plan and updated waste directives are driving procurement of advanced recycling services, waste-to-energy solutions, and circular economy consulting. Building cleaning services for government offices, schools, and hospitals represent a high-volume, recurring procurement category.

Environmental service providers should demonstrate compliance with waste management regulations, environmental permits, and health and safety standards. For waste management, certified treatment and disposal capabilities, recycling rates, and carbon footprint reduction targets are key evaluation criteria. Social criteria including fair employment practices and living wage commitments are increasingly incorporated into environmental service tenders.
