- Abstract
This paper provides a systematic literature review, covering existing publications on sustainable public procurement, exploring practices used, benefits and obstacles found in a global context. The methodology consisted of a systematic mapping of the main publications on the theme, dividing them into categories of practices, advantages / benefits and barriers / obstacles. From results of study, it can be observed that the sustainable practices most used in public contracting are the adoption of environmental performance criteria, the use of environmental certificates and seals, and the use of specific legislation to standardize bids. The main benefits of applying sustainable public procurement are the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions, the stimulation of sustainable attitudes in the private sector, stimulation of the market for sustainable products, and the innovation. The studies analyzed also indicate that the practice of sustainable public procurement needs to overcome significant challenges, including lack of product information, financial problems and lack of environmental knowledge and awareness.
