The purpose of this paper is to explore the “new paradigm” of sustainable public procurement in France, that is, its cognitive and normative frameworks. Firstly, the author shows that the newness of this paradigm has to do with the identification of sustainable procurement as a stake in its own right. Next, he shows that the good practices associated with sustainable procurement are also new (close relationships with suppliers, systematic thought about what is needed, innovative methods of computation). Secondly, the author specifies the content of the sustainable procurement paradigm. He distinguishes three types of justification that he calls “doubly winning purchasing”, “overall winning purchasing”, and “morally responsible purchasing”, associated with three good practice models incarnated in the figures of the buyer, the expert, and the citizen. Based on this work, he describes a lack in the normative literature on sustainable procurement and pleads in favor of testing deliberative decision-making schemes.
