What Is Circular Procurement (Sirkulære anskaffelser, Norway)?
This is a Norwegian procurement term. Public purchasing that promotes reuse, repair and extended product lifetimes.
How is circularity built into a competition?
Through requirements on durability, repairability, spare-part availability and recycled content, through award criteria that reward longer lifetimes, and through contract terms on take-back or reuse.
What is the difference from green procurement?
Green procurement covers environmental impact broadly, including emissions and chemicals. Circular procurement focuses specifically on keeping products and materials in use for longer.
What should suppliers prepare?
Documentation of product lifetime, repair and spare-part arrangements, and material content. Claims about circularity are normally only credited where they can be evidenced.
