Abstract

The application of non-price criteria in road sector public procurement procedure is an important step towards harmonizing European approaches to tendering. Although Ukrainian legislation allows the use of non-price criteria during the procurement process, it should be noted that the methodology for applying non-price criteria for the implementation of environmental protection measures is not yet sufficiently developed. One of the prerequisites for such criteria effective application in road sector public procurement procedure is methodology updating for evaluating tenders, taking into account European approaches to their evaluation. Thus, the aim of this study is to develop non-price criteria for environmental measures implementation (or environmental friendliness of resources used) for public procurement in the field of road management. As non-price criteria application is based on the approaches prescribed by current legislation, their evaluation is carried out by methods and techniques defined in the “Guidelines for the methodology of the peculiarities of procurement in the field of road management”. Determining the impact on the environment in the implementation of planned activities is performed using a combined approach to the Leopold matrix and the Harrington function. The article describes examples of the application of certain non-price criteria for environmental protection measures implementation. The practical implementation of the proposed non-price criteria in the procedure of public procurement in the road sector will provide an opportunity to make an important contribution to the process of integration of sustainability criteria in Ukraine in accordance with European standards.
