BG- Guidelines for Conducting Public Procurement with Social Criteria in the ROMACT Municipalities

These Guidelines for Conducting Public Procurement with Social Criteria in the ROMACT Municipalities have the aim to provide practical tools to municipalities, as contracting authorities, to set social criteria in their public procurement procedures.

The inclusion of such criteria can increase the efficiency of municipal budget spending by adding a social value to the goods and services acquired. The implementation of such public procurement procedures will provide an opportunity to overcome high unemployment rates in the Bulgarian municipalities where employment opportunities are limited.
