About this tool
MVI criteriatool
On this page you will find a brief explanation of how to use the MVI criteria tool, determining ambition and the process to keep the criteria up to date.
Using the MVI criteria tool you can quickly collect the most recent Sustainable Public Procurement (SPP)criteria for your purchasing document. You can select suitability requirements, selection criteria, requirements, rewarding criteria and contract provisions. You can choose from three ambition levels and you will also see the relevant sustainability themes to which the criterion applies. You can then download your selection. You can copy these texts into your tender document after checking and possibly supplementing them.
The use of the MVI criteria tool
The tool and the criteria included in it are an aid for governments that want to make SPP policy and ambitions concrete. The tool makes the work easier. However, you must choose criteria yourself and determine whether criteria need to be further specified, for example, what verification is required and what weighting to use for award criteria. Simply adopting all criteria is not the intention; in practice this can lead to unnecessary or disproportionate application and therefore the absence of the desired effect.

Ambition levels
You can choose criteria at three different ambition levels:
1. base
2. significant
3. ambitious
The purchasing organization itself makes the choice at which level it wants to purchase. It is also possible to make a combination of different levels. For each criterion, the ambition level is indicated with 1 (basic), 2 (significant) or 3 (ambitious) green leaves.

You will find more information about determining ambition on the PIANOo website (in Dutch).
Themes
For each criterion it is indicated on which theme(s) the criterion has a favorable influence. The themes are:
• Energy and Climate (Energy)
• Materials and Raw Materials (Materials)
• Soil and Water (Soil)
• Ecology and biodiversity (Ecology)
• Health, well-being and living environment (Health)
• Social chain aspects (Social)
• Animal Welfare (Animal Welfare)
• Circular economy (Circular)
• Biobased economy (Biobased)
Direct links
If you want to share a certain criterion with others, you can use the 'Direct Link' button. This will generate a separate URL on a new web page that you can share.
The printout that you can download concludes with a table with the unique number of each criterion. You can use these for your own reference and/or can be entered in the input fields of your tender system.
