Innovation procurement:

policy developments

Innovation Union, Commitment 17: Procurement budgets for innovation Issues

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

Actions “Member States and regions should set aside dedicated budgets for pre-commercial

procurements and public procurements of innovative products and services ... The Commission will provide guidance and set up a (financial) support mechanism

to help contracting authorities to implement these procurements in a non-discriminatory and open manner, to pool demand, to draw up common specifications, and to promote SME access.

In addition, the Commission will offer guidance on implementing joint procurements between contracting entities…”

Policy developments…

European Council conclusions, 4 February 2011 20- the Commission is invited to: provide guidance on the application of the Directives on public procurement; more generally public procurement should be better geared to creating greater demand for innovative goods and services; 22- The Commission is invited to present proposals by the end of 2011: (…) and for assessing how best to meet the needs of fast growing innovative companies through a market-based approach. In this connection the Commission is also invited to explore the feasibility of a Small Business Innovation Research Scheme.”
