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/docum ents/pcp_brochure_en. pdf 5 Enterprise and Industry
Why & main difficulties of using public procurement to stimulate innovation? Enterprise and Industry
Why supporting demand of innovation & innovation procurement? 1. Potential lever for action: 19% of EU GDP 2. Delivering better public services/ Societal challenges 3. Foster & accelerate access to market for innovative solutions (i. e. lead customers, first client) 4. Foster EU Internal Market to benefit of EU businesses (SMEs) 5. Policy mix and international rising field of innovation support policies 7 Enterprise and Industry
Main difficulties for procurers to purchase innovative solutions? 1. Wrong incentives 2. Lack of knowledge and capabilities on technologies, innovations, market developments 3. No strategy that aligns public procurements with public policy objectives (e. g. health, environment, transport), and with R&D&I support programmes 4. Fragmentation in demand 5. Difficulties for innovative SMEs to be involved in public procurement as direct beneficiary/ client of a purchasing authority 8 Enterprise and Industry
