Abstract

Purpose: The purpose of the Communication is to present the action plan for the social economy in the European Union. Public procurement is a powerful tool for public authorities to spend public money in an efficient, sustainable and strategic way, especially in times of budgetary constraints (EU Commission, 2017). Annual spending on public procurement in the EU amounts to €2 trillion, so managing it effectively can save significant resources for public budgets and investments, while supporting social and environmental policies. A public procurement strategy requires a change of attitude from public authorities, so that public procurement is no longer seen as a mere administrative process, but as a tool to serve broader objectives and needs, while respecting the rules governing the EU (EU Commission, 2017). With this in mind we will refer to the Action Plan for the Social Economy in the EU (2021) in the light of Socially Responsible Public Procurement in relation to Greece. Methodology: Concise review of the Action Plan for the Social Economy in EU in the Light of the Socially Responsible Public Procurement. For this reason, we will refer to Socially Responsible Public Procurement, European policies supporting the Social Economy, and the EU Action Plan for its development. Then we will refer to the Public Procurement Strategy in Greece from the point of view of supporting Social Economy Entities. Findings:   Presentation of the challenges of the Public Procurement Strategy in Greece in relation to Socially Responsible Public Procurement and the Social Economy Action Plan by extension Unique Contribution to Theory Practice and Policy: The contribution of this paper is to inform stakeholders in Greece on the implementation of the Social Economy Action Plan of EU and its link to Socially Responsible Public Procurement. Through this link, the development of Social Economy Organisations can be supported on the one hand and on the other hand it can contribute to the sustainable development of the European economy and of Greece in particular.
从社会责任公共采购看希腊社会经济行动计划的挑战
目的:通讯的目的是提出欧洲联盟社会经济的行动计划。公共采购是公共当局有效、可持续和战略性地使用公共资金的有力工具,特别是在预算紧张的时候(欧盟委员会,2017年)。欧盟每年在公共采购方面的支出高达2万亿欧元,因此有效管理这些支出可以为公共预算和投资节省大量资源,同时支持社会和环境政策。公共采购战略要求公共当局改变态度,使公共采购不再被视为纯粹的行政程序,而是作为服务于更广泛目标和需求的工具,同时尊重欧盟的规则(欧盟委员会,2017)。考虑到这一点,我们将参考欧盟社会经济行动计划(2021年),根据与希腊有关的社会负责任的公共采购。方法:从对社会负责的公共采购的角度对欧盟社会经济行动计划进行简要审查。为此,我们将参考社会责任公共采购、欧洲支持社会经济的政策以及欧盟发展行动计划。然后,我们将从支持社会经济实体的角度来参考希腊的公共采购战略。研究结果:介绍了希腊公共采购战略在社会责任公共采购和社会经济行动计划方面所面临的挑战,通过扩展对理论、实践和政策的独特贡献:本文的贡献是向希腊的利益相关者介绍欧盟社会经济行动计划的实施及其与社会责任公共采购的联系。通过这种联系,一方面可以支持社会经济组织的发展,另一方面可以促进欧洲经济特别是希腊的可持续发展。
