Intention: Supporting market VS supporting technology

5

Why supporting demand of innovation & innovation procurement?

1. Potential lever for action: 19% of EU GDP

2. Foster & accelerate access to market for innovative solutions

3. Foster EU Internal Market to benefit of EU businesses (SMEs)

4. Delivering better EU pubic services/ Societal challenges

5. Policy mix and international rising field of innovation support policies



6

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 do not require R&D = Public Procurement of innovation

Normal procurement procedure/directives

2/ Procurement of innovative solutions that require R&D = Pre-Commercial Procurement

Working under R&D exemption of the procurement procedure/directives http://ec.europa.eu/information_society/tl/research/priv_invest/pcp/documents/

pcp_brochure_en.pdf



7

Main difficulties of procurers purchasing 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

Implementation of the project - important

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE (page 8-9 ToR)

1/ Development of public procurement of innovative solutions (preparation phase and implementation phase):· to create buyers groups dedicated to prepare for the procurement of innovative solutions (including needs assessment, market consultation (involvement of the supply chain (in particular European SMEs)), specification development, risk management), and the actual procurement process (including defining the conditions for the collaboration between contracting authorities, sharing resources in the evaluation of bids and related procedures, translations and publicising the calls for tender);

Current activities



20

Implementation of the project - important

SPECIFIC OBJECTIVE (page 8-9 ToR)

2/ and, with the possibility to implement within the time-line of the project a public procurement of innovative solutions co-financed by the European Union; resulting in the first application / commercialisation of innovations of European Union relevance which

have already been technically demonstrated with success but which, owing to residual risk, are not yet commercially available in the market in which the procurement authority operates. This includes solutions based on existing technologies that are to be utilised in a new and innovative way, as well as non-technological innovations. The solutions have to be

new to the contracting authority and new to the Internal Market. By the implementation of the procurement of innovative solution we mean:

1. The publication at Official Journal;2. The evaluation of the tenders;3. The conclusion of the award procedure followed by the payment to the"beneficiary of the market" (refer to part 4 "EU Financing").

Current activities



21

Implementation of the project - importantNota Bene for Strand 1 (page 15 ToR)A maximum of 20% of the price of actual purchase(s) of innovative solution (s) will beeligible, if the six following conditions are met:1. The purchase takes place during and as part of the action and is otherwise eligible inaccordance with Art. II.14 of the General Conditions;2. In general, applicants and partners of applicants must be Contracting Authoritiesaccording to Directives 2004/18/EC and 2004/17/EC, Contracting Authorities shall be the State, regional or local authorities, bodies governed by public law, associations formed byone or several of such authorities or bodies governed by public law;3. Multiple procurements can be implemented in a single consortium in the life-timeof the action. The total co-financing does not exceed EUR 500,000;4. The total amount of the EU contribution for the purchase(s) does not exceed one third(1/3) of the total EU contribution for the action;5. The call for tender(s) for the actual purchase(s) of innovative solution(s) has/haveto be done following an EU wide publication, at least in English, and all offers areevaluated according to the same objective criteria regardless of the geographic location ofcompany head offices, company size or governance structure, which ensure compliancewith the principles of transparency, non-discrimination and equal treatment and whichguarantee that tenders are assessed in conditions of effective competition;6. The call for tender(s) for the actual purchase(s) of innovative solution(s) has/haveto use best value for money (and not just lowest price) criteria for evaluating offers.

Current activities



22

Our challenges

1/ Being able to evaluate the innovativeness of a solution procured

2/ Demonstrating that financially supporting public procurement of innovation at European level could work

3/ Being successful in puling the demand of innovation at European level (Internal Market)
