What is innovation procurement? Composed of 2 main aspects Following the need assessment realised by the procurer there are 2 possibilities 1/ Procurement of innovative solutions that require R&D = Pre-Commercial Procurement Working under R&D exemption of the procurement procedure/directives 2/Procurement of innovative solutions that do not require R&D = Public Procurement of innovation Normal procurement procedure/directives http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/tl/research/priv_invest/pcp/documents/pcp_brochure_en.pdf
Why & main difficultiesof using public procurement to stimulate innovation?
Whysupporting demand of innovation & innovation procurement? • Potential lever for action: 19% of EU GDP • Delivering better public services/ Societal challenges • Foster & accelerate access to market for innovative solutions (i.e. lead customers, first client) • Foster EU Internal Market to benefit of EU businesses (SMEs) • Policymix and international rising field of innovation support policies
Main difficultiesfor procurers to purchase innovative solutions? • Wrong incentives • Lack of knowledge and capabilities on technologies, innovations, market developments • No strategy that aligns public procurements with public policy objectives (e.g. health, environment, transport), and with R&D&I support programmes • Fragmentation in demand • Difficulties for innovative SMEs to be involved in public procurement as direct beneficiary/ client of a purchasing authority
