Buyer groups

Within buyer groups, various parties work together to formulate a market strategy or vision for a specific product, service or market segment. By collaborating with other public and private organisations within a buyer group, participants take concrete steps towards sustainable and circular procurement.

What is a buyer group?

A buyer group is a partnership in which public and private organisations collaborate to purchase in a more sustainable and circular way. By acting together, buyer groups share knowledge, have a greater impact and together shape new standards for sustainable and circular procurement. This makes it possible to make procurement processes more sustainable, and at the same time encourage market participants to come up with innovative and sustainable solutions.

Which buyer groups are there?

There are various active buyer groups, each focusing on specific themes such as circular construction, sustainable ICT and biobased products. These groups bring experts and organisations together to collaborate on making their sector more sustainable.
