On August 22, 2024, Chris Yukins and Tom Daley (DLA Piper) presented to the International Research Study of Public Procurement (IRSPP) group’s tenth workshop, in Charlotte, North Carolina, as part of the NIGP (Institute for Government Procurement) annual conference.
Asked to address an emerging “technology” in public procurement, Tom and Chris discussed the rapidly evolving law surrounding “green procurement” (environmentally sustainable procurement). They assessed the law as a sort of flexible “technology” or “operating system” that bends and changes to reflect real-world conditions and offers a highly efficient means of sharing lessons learned across borders.
Special thanks to Professor Jane Lynch of Cardiff University who did such a wonderful job organizing the IRSPP workshop.
