Description Abstract This article examines the role of public procurement as a key instrument for facilitating Georgia’s transition to a circular economy. While Georgia has made progress in modernizing its procurement system, the integration of circular economy principles remains limited. Drawing on EU best practices and the experiences of Eastern Partnership countries, this paper identifies key barriers to green public procurement, including legal, institutional, and market-related challenges. It proposes a framework for leveraging public procurement as a mediating mechanism, linking policy objectives with market capabilities. The article outlines practical recommendations for legislative reform, capacity building, supplier engagement, and monitoring, emphasizing the importance of mediation between public authorities, private actors, and technical experts. This framework aligns with Georgia’s broader economic modernization goals, supports sustainable development, and facilitates harmonization with European Union standards.
