Systematic review of sustainable public procurement between 2017 and 2022

Abstract

Sustainable purchases in the public sector can economically, socially, and environmentally benefit institutions and regions that adopt these criteria for the contracting of services and goods. Faced with this, a broad review of the established literature is carried out around the understanding of the observance of the insertions of public policies and other regulations in Brazil in the dimensions of sustainability, as well as the behavior of Brazilian organizations. Based on the findings of review articles on Sustainable Public Procurement (SPP), this article sought to understand the sustainability criteria discussed in review articles on SCP and the relevance of Brazilian public universities in this discussion. The methodology used was the Integrative Systemic Review with the 6 stages proposed by Botelho, Cunha and Macedo (2011). 15 review articles were analyzed, and the results show the main topics discussed around the CPS and the criteria that require further elaboration so that the acquisition of goods and services truly contributes to sustainable development, as prescribed by the Brazilian laws that guide these issues.
