During the 5th Annual Meeting of the Public-Private Partnership Working Party (WP-PPP), under the auspices of the United Nations Economic Commission for Europe (UNECE), held in Geneva on 29-30 November 2021, Greece, through the President of HSPPA Mr. G. Katapodis, achieved the unanimous election of the only President (Chair) in the Presidency of the above-mentioned Group, in which to date has held the position of Co-chair together with the representatives of the USA and Japan.

This success is considered extremely important, on the one hand due to the special importance of the subject negotiated by the Group, on the other hand due to the countries represented, namely the USA and Japan (G-7 and G-20 members), France (member of EU, G-7 and G-20), Belgium (EU), and Russia and Turkey (G-20 members).

In order to achieve the highest level of quality and effectiveness in the exercise of its duties and responsibilities, HSPPA has created a wide network of targeted collaborations with other entities, both domestic and international. HSPPA is one of the most important pillars in the field of public procurement in Greece, with a multi-level contribution, from the formation of the national strategy and policy, the coordination and the communication with the European Commission, to the day-to-day help to the contracting authorities, the streamlining of the PP procedures, the opinion-giving, and the auditing and monitoring of the field.

HSPPA has developed a wide range of actions and partnerships for the efficient and innovative accomplishment of its purpose, among others in the field of integrity and transparency.

 Indicatively, HSPPA has obtained the Quality ISO 9001 and is in the final stage of obtaining the Anti-bribery ISO 37001.
