Abstract

Public sector organizations can help drive a Circular Economy through Circular Public Procurement (CPP), which leads to the uptake of products and services deriving from Circular Business Models (CBM).
The goal of the dissertation is to provide research-based insights and recommendations that can help in the development and implementation of CPP and CBM.
Chapter 3 presents a systematic literature review on the concept of CPP. Chapter 4 presents provides an overview of processes and tensions experienced in market consultations, a key phase in CPP. Chapter 5 describes the main paradoxical tensions faced by CBM, and their related management strategies. Lastly, Chapter 6 integrates insights from the previous three chapters into a crosscutting discussion of the innovation dynamics of CPP.
Overall, the dissertation structures the diffuse and increasing knowledge of the field of CPP. It provides an in-depth empirical and conceptual analysis of market consultations. It outlines the main paradoxical tensions faced by CBM. And lastly, translates the main theoretical insights into practice-oriented recommendations for improving the implementation and diffusion of CPP.
