The ITU's guide to
Circular and Sustainable Public Procurement for ICTs is for governments and other public sector organizations that procure information and communications technology (ICT) equipment, systems, and services. It sets out the systems and process requirements for ICT procurement in a way that supports the transition to circular and sustainable system solutions. It considers the need for policy and strategy, setting the conditions for and building circular and sustainable design into procurement processes. The guide is developed with the
GovStack initiative, which aims to accelerate the digital transformation of government services.
