Green procurement is known as procurement that is consistent with the principles of sustainable development, such as ensuring a strong, healthy and just society, living within environmental limits and promoting good governance. Malaysian government has published a standard guideline of green procurement known as Government Green Procurement (GGP) guideline; however, it does not merely used for the construction development. Hence, this paper aims to analyse the criteria and requirements to implement green procurement for construction projects. Questionnaires were distributed to 60 respondents, comprising of project stakeholders that has experience in the development of green construction projects. Limiting to category commercial and office building projects only, hence, the respondents' population was drawn using purposive method. The analysis uses descriptive statistics via mean score, and the standard deviation was used to measure the variables and the mean's dispersion. It is revealed that all of the criteria stated are important and one or more criteria are more important than the rest. This study recommends that the government focus on these criteria to help implement green procurement for green construction projects in Malaysia. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
