Abstract

 

The Public Procurement Code (PPC) of 2017 authorized the integration of environmental clauses and criteria in public procurement in Madagascar.  Therefore, this article aims to evaluate the state of integration of environmental requirements into public procurement works in Madagascar, considering their size and their potential impacts on the environment. The results obtained confirmed the hypothesis according to which the integration of environmental clauses and criteria in public works contracts is strongly linked to binding regulations. 94% of bidding documents containing an environmental provision are subject to specific regulations regarding environmental protection. Nearly 34% of bidding documents contain an environmental clause relating to technical specifications and 19% provide an environnemental critearia for qualifying candidates. The study concludes that the level of integration of environmental considerations in public procurement is low. In the absence of specific binding regulations, less than 6% of contracts contain an environmental provision. Therefore, regulations can stimulate the setting of environmental considerations, but they must provide the necessary mechanisms and tools relating to it.
