How to Get Involved

You are welcome to participante in our interviews.

Online interviews

We are interviewing people involved in public procurement. This includes public procurement officers and equivalents, as well as staff from companies which have been awarded a contract.

Interviews will help us to identify the current barriers to circular public procurement.

How much of your time? Up to 30-minutes.

How? Online on Microsoft Teams

When? Between June and October 2025

Why getting involved?

Because you are fundamental in shaping the public procurement policies and practices of the future.

The aim of this project is to support local authorities’ transition towards circular public procurement by identifying barriers for the inclusion of net zero considerations in procurement decision-making. Your contribution is crucial.

We intend to publish peer reviewed academic publications, conference papers, blogs, a guidance document, and policy briefs with the finding of this project.  You will also have access to all of them.

Please do contact me if you would like more information using the form or directly to my email.
