Sustainable Public Procurement (SPP) in Vietnam’s construction sector holds considerable potential as a catalyst for sustainable development, economic stability, and social progress. With rapid urbanisation, the construction sector has become a significant driver of environmental stress, leading to increased carbon emissions and extensive resource consumption. By integrating sustainability into procurement practices, Vietnam can mitigate environmental damage, improve resource efficiency, and maximise the long-term benefits of infrastructure projects. This policy brief highlights the pivotal role of SPP in Vietnam’s construction sector and offers strategic recommendations for moving forward. Furthermore, it proposes piloting social housing construction to showcase the potential advantages of SPP and its contribution to Vietnam’s sustainable future.
