In a new and free online game we introduce some aspects of Green Public Procurement in a simplified, fun setting that helps highlight some of the considerations involved.
In the game the player assumes the role of a public procurement manager working for a large city. The gameplay imagines our intrepid public servant (namely, you!) inheriting a challenging procurement portfolio that has a substantial environmental footprint (in terms of excess Greenhouse gas emissions). The general objective is to use the next procurement season to reduce the city’s environmental impact by making optimal choices when various procurement tenders materialize.
More background about the game (more extended instructions and glossaries) are provided in a new Open Risk Academy course.
Enjoy!
