Circular procurement guidance
Circular Procurement Transformation Guidance
This guidance is written for procurers and affiliated functions. It offers a general introduction to the topic of circular procurement. It guides you to the many resources that are available, and helps you decide which are relevant for your specific situation. Throughout this guidance, excerpts of the Interreg NSR ProCirc pilots are used as illustrations. Furthermore, it offers a relevant selection of the circular procurement tools that were collected during the Interreg NSR ProCirc project.
Organisational change
The Interreg NSR ProCirc partners created a workshop manual for procurement teams aiming to draft an action plan to guide the team towards the behavioral change that is needed to achieve circular transformation objectives.

Monitoring guidance
Measurements on savings in CO2 emissions, waste generated, and the amount of virgin materials consumed can all be used to demonstrate the concrete impact that circular procurements contribute to. Measuring and monitoring helps organisations to understand which actions generate the highest impact.
This monitoring guidance document is developed based on workshops and advice to support ProCirc Circular Procurement pilots.
