Procura+ has, in cooperation with SKAO, our UAPP partner Rijkswaterstaat and the Municipality of Haarlem and Utrecht, organised a successful CityMatch Event in Utrecht and Haarlem, The Netherlands, from June 25 until June 27, 2025.
Participants were delegations from the Government of Catalonia - Spain, Transport for London - UK, SIBNI - Strategic Investment Board Northern Ireland and Lipor - Portugal.
Goal of this event was to exchange knowledge about using the CO2 Performance Ladder: the CO2 Performance Ladder is a procurement tool and carbon management system that incentivises bidders to reduce carbon by offering an award advantage based on carbon performance.
On June 26th Haarlem welcomed the delegation at Paviljoen Loef for lunch.
During the afternoon the group visited the Circular Raw Materials Hub in the Waarderpolder in Haarlem and joined an introduction by Alderman Robbert Berkhout and several presentations by members of the Municipality of Haarlem, Dura Vermeer, Heijmans and Witteveen&Bos. After a tour around the Hub and an interactive session, the group visited the redevelopment road project of the Spaarndamseweg in which reused materials from the hub were used, such as circular asphalt. They also used zero emission construction vehicles to work with to reduce CO2 emission.
As soon as available we will publish the summary and video of this CityMatch event on this webpage.
