The nZEB Ready Procurement Guide aims to equip public authorities and procurement professionals with strategies to support the development of skills for nearly Zero Energy Building (nZEB) construction. It emphasises using public procurement as a tool to upskill the construction workforce.

The guide offers a step-by-step approach, from identifying needs to contract monitoring, detailing how to integrate nZEB skills into procurement processes.

Drawing on pilot projects, lessons from sister initiatives, and insights from the nZEB Cities Working Group, it provides practical examples and resources to promote workforce competence in energy-efficient construction, ultimately driving demand for nZEB skills in the sector.
