Abstract

The objective of this article is to study the diffusion of information in processes of sustainable public procurement through the application of a model based on social network analysis (ARS), and thus contribute to an increase purchases of sustainable products in the public sector. Based on the studies of Hausmann and Hidalgo, this research proposes a conceptual model for the use of affiliation networks in sustainable public procurement. Their use generates indicators, disseminates information and provides a systemic view of sustainable product purchasing processes.
