Abstract: The development of a sustainable procurement framework for construction work is needed to assist the organisation in implementing sustainable procurement. In formulating a sustainable construction procurement framework, it is necessary to build a conceptual framework for sustainable procurement. The conceptual framework is a conceptual structure containing important interrelated elements in providing a comprehensive understanding of sustainable procurement. The methodology used in formulating the conceptual framework is based on a theory with a qualitative approach that aims to describe and explain the pattern of relationships between elements with the concept of sustainable procurement. The results of the qualitative analysis show that ISO 20400 in 2017 has included elements of sustainable procurement in construction projects. This shows that ISO 20400 can be used as a reference in developing a sustainable procurement framework for construction work. Thereby, a sustainable procurement framework for construction work is developed based on a thorough understanding and application of the four dimensions of sustainable procurement.
