Abstract(s)
Numa era em que se verifica a intenção política de posicionar a contratação pública, tanto na União Europeia como em Portugal, no centro da decisão de produção e consumo sustentável e considerando a representatividade do orçamento da despesa da Guarda Nacional Republicana, sobressai a necessidade de se realizar uma análise aprofundada sobre esta temática. Assim, a presente investigação tem como objetivo primordial aferir quais são os principais impactos da sustentabilidade ambiental no processo de Contratação Pública da Guarda Nacional Republicana. Neste sentido, pretende-se abordar quais são os efeitos da introdução dos critérios ecológicos na contratação pública, verificar quais os desafios inerentes à sua aplicação e qual é a sensibilidade da instituição em formar os seus recursos humanos de forma a tornar a contratação pública mais sustentável.
Tendo em vista a concretização dos objetivos propostos, a metodologia adotada assentou no método dedutivo, partindo da teoria à procura de um resultado em particular. A análise do estado da arte foi realizada através da pesquisa bibliográfica e documental e com a análise de diversos procedimentos pré-contratuais. No que concerne ao desenho e estratégia de investigação, foi seguida uma abordagem mista, com a aplicação de entrevistas e inquéritos por questionário, constituindo-se como conteúdo empírico da investigação.
Os resultados obtidos permitem concluir que a sustentabilidade ambiental tem diversos impactos na contratação pública da Guarda Nacional Republicana. Estes impactos podem traduzir-se em oportunidades e desafios. Deste modo, verificou-se que um dos grandes desafios para a implementação da Contratação Pública Ecológica na Guarda Nacional Republicana consiste na falta de sensibilização e capacitação dos seus colaboradores.
A Contratação Pública Ecológica, apesar de compreender determinados desafios, pode proporcionar inúmeros benefícios a longo prazo como, a título de exemplo, a economia de recursos e a redução do impacto ambiental. Para que isto se verifique, é essencial que a Guarda Nacional Republicana se envolva e comprometa com esta temática por forma a incentivar os seus colaboradores a trabalhar nesse sentido.

Therefore, this research mainly aims to assess the main impacts of environmental sustainability on the Guarda Nacional Republicana's public procurement process. In this sense, the aim is to discuss the effects of introducing ecological criteria into public procurement, examine the inherent challenges of their application, and assess the institution's receptiveness to training its human resources to make public procurement more sustainable. The methodology adopted was based on the deductive method to achieve the proposed objectives, starting from theory in search of a particular result. The analysis of the state of the art was carried out through bibliographical and documentary research and the analysis of various pre-contractual procedures. Concerning the research design and strategy, a mixed approach was followed, with the application of interviews and questionnaires constituting the empirical content of the research. The results show that environmental sustainability impacts public procurement in the Guarda Nacional Republicana. These impacts can be translated into opportunities and challenges. Thus, it was found that one of the major challenges to implementing Green Public Procurement in the Guarda Nacional Republicana is the lack of awareness and training of its employees. Despite these challenges, Green public procurement can provide numerous long-term benefits, such as saving resources and reducing environmental impact. For this to occur, the Guarda Nacional Republicana must become involved and committed to this issue to encourage its employees to work towards this goal.
