Foreword Given growing expectations for public service delivery, and sustainable development, under increasinglytight fiscal conditions, public procurement has emerged as a critical policy lever for governments. TheOECD 2015 Recommendation on Public Procurement calls upon countries to take a balanced approachto the use of procurement to achieve economy, efficiency, and strategic policy objectives. The EuropeanUnion also encourages Member States to use procurement to help achieve policy priorities outlined instrategic documents and policy frameworks. For example, the 2024 European Commission reportThefuture of European competitivenesshighlights the need for leveraging strategic procurement to reinforceEU’s market power regarding decarbonation and competitiveness. In Estonia, public procurement plays a significant role in the national economy, accounting for 15.3% ofGDP and nearly 35% of government expenditure in 2023. Recognising its strategic potential, Estonia isincreasingly using public procurement to support broader objectives such as tackling climate change,fostering innovation, and promoting economic growth and recovery, as presented in national strategies.To that end, Estonia has set ambitious targets for strategic procurement. By 2035, 20% of all procurementprocedures—representing 30% of total public procurement spending—are expected to include greencriteria, which are already mandatory for certain product categories. For socially responsible procurement,the targets are 10% of contracts by number and 20% by value by 2035. Estonia also aims for innovationprocurement to account for 2% of all procurement by 2027.
