Role of procurement to achieve the sustainable development of rural infrastructure

Abstract

The report is motivated by the rural infrastructure development in Bangladesh, especially the benefit of implementing sustainable procurement. As all we know that, infrastructure development generates several negative impacts on humans and the environment. Our concern is how procurement practices can improve concerning the economic, social and environmental performances and make those improvements sustainable. To find the report results a systematic Literature review and secondary data analysis have been applied. The adopted procurement process in Bangladesh, the role of stakeholders, rural infrastructure procurement stages, the role of existing procurement in sustainable development have been discussed. Some procurement theories are also discussed to prove the relation between the sustainability of infrastructure and the procuring process. There are some barriers to implementing sustainability. To overcome these barriers the government should take more initiatives cooperating with the procurers.
