Strengthening Sustainable Public Procurement in the OECS Project: Product No. 3: Status Assessment of Sustainable Public Procurement in the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States

This status assessment describes the current baseline situation of Sustainable Public Procurement (SPP) in the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) with specific reference to the procurement of construction materials and with a particular focus on the three pilot countries participating in the project: the Commonwealth of Dominica, Grenada and Antigua & Barbuda. Given that all three pilot countries are members of both the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and the OECS, the assessment reviews the status of SPP at the levels of both these regional organizations, as both have an influence on procurement legislation and operations at the country level, with CARICOM being the more influential, as explained below.
