Figure 3.
The conceptual framework shows interconnected barriers influencing Green Public Procurement, G P P performance evaluation. A central box labelled Barriers to G P P Performance Evaluation is connected to multiple surrounding barrier categories. Capacity Related Barriers appear above the central element. Technological Barriers and Institutional Barriers appear on the right side. Strategic Barriers and Regulatory and Compliance Barriers appear in the lower right area. Financial Barriers appear at the bottom. Green Market Dynamics appears below the central element. Procurement Barriers appear on the left side. Stakeholder Engagement Barriers appears in the upper left area. Directional arrows connect the barriers and indicate relationships among them. Some arrows indicate reinforcing or enabling relationships where one barrier strengthens or contributes to another barrier. Other arrows indicate hindering or constraining relationships where one barrier limits or weakens the mitigation of another barrier. Additional arrows indicate causal or triggering relationships where the presence of one barrier directly causes another barrier. Arrows also point toward the central element to show how the surrounding barriers contribute to barriers in G P P performance evaluation. Arrowheads indicate the direction of influence from the influencing barrier to the affected barrier. The framework shows multiple interconnected paths linking capacity related barriers, technological barriers, institutional barriers, strategic barriers, regulatory and compliance barriers, financial barriers, green market dynamics, procurement barriers, and stakeholder engagement barriers to the evaluation of Green Public Procurement performance.Interrelationship between barriers to GPP performance evaluation
