Sustainable Business Practices

Are you a business owner interested in doing business with the municipality of Voorschoten? If so, you will need to comply with the municipality’s procurement and tendering policy. This policy outlines the objectives, frameworks, guiding principles, and (peripheral) conditions of the municipality of Voorschoten regarding the procurement of works, supplies, and services, and helps standardize municipal procurement and tendering practices. It is intended for both the municipal administration and employees who are involved in any way (whether in policy, management, or oversight) with procurement and contracting. In addition, it informs third parties of the objectives and principles that the municipality applies in its procurement activities.

Through its purchasing power, the municipality influences the sustainability of market production. The municipality exercises this influence in a conscious and targeted manner through sustainable procurement. By engaging in sustainable procurement, the municipality takes into account the effects of business operations on people, the environment, and society. Section 4.2 of the procurement and tendering policy provides further details on how the municipality implements sustainable procurement.
