The Public Buyers Community Platform complements the European Commission’s strategy to improve public procurement in the EU by bringing together public authorities and other stakeholders.

Public procurers can find and join a community of practice that best fits their procurement interests and work in close collaboration with their fellow members to pool their resources, tools and expertise, and maximise their purchasing power and impact.

The Public Buyers Community Platform is a DG GROW initiative dedicated to facilitating joint action in public purchasing across the EU. It is a space for European public procurers and the European Commission to meet and work together to actively advance public purchasing.

Who is the Public Buyers Community Platform for?

• Individual public procurers looking to boost their purchasing power and market knowledge by joining a community of like-minded public buyers.
• Persons in upper management or who hold political office looking to get information on leveraging the power of their public procurement function.
• Suppliers and industries wishing to know more on EU public procurement practices and how to engage with public authorities.
• Existing networks in need of a common space to guarantee the cohesion of their stakeholders’ purchase mode.
• Research groups seeking to gain insight into public procurement with the aim of improving current practices.
