The Buy Better to Build Better (BBBB) Coalition unites forward-thinking stakeholders from across the construction sector, civil society, and public authorities, under a shared commitment to elevate public procurement as a core lever for driving demand for innovative solutions, while maintaining European industry at the forefront of technological progress.

We believe that Europe and its 250,000+ public authorities can buy better to build better, aligning decarbonisation and competitiveness under one overarching industrial strategy.

Here is how:

• Simpler procurement with harmonised, sector-specific GPP criteria to create demand for low-carbon and circular construction solutions.
• A stronger internal market through coherent and horizontal procurement rules beyond lowest price.
• Simpler and standardised EU-wide tracking of GPP.
• Continued support for public authorities in implementing GPP effectively.
