This legal review, Review of the Public Procurement Legal Framework of Mongolia, is one of the preliminary studies recommended by the UNEP Approach to Sustainable Public Procurement (SPP) with a view to design and then implement an SPP Action Plan. The UNEP Approach to SPP stresses the need for national SPP Action Plans to take into account the legal and regulatory frameworks of each country. This report prepares the ground for eventually integrating sustainability concerns in the legislation and regulations dedicated to public procurement in Mongolia.

More specifically, the objectives of this report are:
  • To have an understanding the legal process to amend public procurement regulations;
  • To review the international agreements signed by Mongolia that have an impact on SPP and sustainable development;
  • To identify opportunities and hurdles in the existing legislation for enabling SPP and eco-labeling schemes or other certifications as a means of verification in the country’s public procurement legal framework;
  • To clarify the necessary steps needed to propose changes to the current public procurement legislation in order to integrate SPP;
  • To draft recommended amendments to existing articles in the legislation aiming at mainstreaming sustainability in the public procurement legal framework;
  • To propose standard clauses, in the form of examples, on sustainable procurement to be incorporated in standard bidding documents and criteria to use.
The findings and recommendations resulting from the legal review will be incorporated at a later stage into a National SPP Action Plan, with the ultimate aim of creating a legal framework that supports and enables SPP in Mongolia.
