Abstract

This article explores the descriptive research review on Green Public Procurement Bhutan and enquires about systemic challenges in procurement practices and potential opportunities that tend to influence the development of sustainable consumption and production practice, which is based on the project experience that is documented in the project research reports. The research article adopts partially the design methodology and is defined by the analysis phase of the analysis-projection-synthesis approach to enquire the procurement system, which will define the normative value of the procurement system. From this article, it was identified that the systemic transformation is pre-requisite for sustainable public procurement deployment, which will require lifestyle transformation. Therefore, extensive stakeholder negotiation is a key aspect of the success of procurement system transformation and will require a multi-methodological worldview to enquire about the current system. The challenges, opportunities, and implementation strategies are context-dependent, which can be seen in the contextual scenario case, and potential for further research endeavors.
