CLAUZE DE SUSTENABILITATE ÎN LEGISLAȚIA NAȚIONALĂ ȘI INTERNAȚIONALĂ CU PRIVIRE LA ACHIZIȚIILE PUBLICE

Abstract

The paper addresses the issue of sustainable public procurement in terms of sustainability clauses and their role in achieving the 2030 Sustainable Development Goals. The aim of the research was to analyze the sustainability clauses in the national legislation of different countries around the world. To achieve this goal, the author identified, systematized, and analyzed the GPPD World Bank database. From the analysis performed, the author concludes that the lifetime cost criterion is most frequently applied. At the same time, the mapping of the national legislation of the Republic of Moldova allowed us to find that the national legal framework allows the integration of sustainable procurement principles, which justifies the need to adopt a public procurement system model, focusing on 2030 sustainable development objectives.
