In this game the player assumes the role of a public procurement manager working for a large city. The gameplay imagines our intrepid public servant inheriting a challenging procurement portfolio that has a substantial environmental footprint (in terms of excess Greehhouse gas emissions). The objective is to use the next procurement season to reduce the city's environmental impact by making optimal choices when various procurement tenders materialize.

Yet, like in real life, pursuing sustainability is not a simple exercise. The officer must meet the city's procurement needs across different product categories with a limited budget and within a limited time. This requires careful evaluation and selection from among the various bids.

More details and basic instructions are provided in the game. The game data are fictitious and simplified but aim to convey some important aspects and challenges associated with Green Public Procurement. A associated Open Risk Academy course (a free account is required) goes into more depth.
