    In 2001 a Government Measure for the Greening of Municipal Services was adopted to promote the introduction of environmental parameters in municipal activities and, in 2006, a Government Measure on the Greening of Local Authority Contracts was also adopted, "which led to the introduction of environmental criteria in the City Council's general and special administrative contract conditions, before the Spanish transposition of Directive 2004/17/EC.

    With the adoption of the Government Measure on Responsible Procurement in 2008, social aspects were also incorporated into contracting policies.
