OECD workshop on measuring the link between public procurement, R&D and innovation. "Impact Assessment of Pre-commercial Procurement", presentation by John Rigby
Presentation by Uwe Flach, Bundesbeschaffung (Austrian Federal Procurement Agency, BBG), on centralised purchasing and modern IT tools for optimising public procurement, at the third regional conference on public procurement for ENP East countries, Tbilisi, 6-7 November 2019.
This document discusses contract award criteria and strategies for selecting the most economically advantageous tender. It outlines two types of requirements that procuring authorities can set - conditions and criteria. Conditions must be met on a pass/fail basis, while criteria allow for evaluation on a scale. The document discusses how to balance conditions and criteria and provides examples of different types of criteria. It also summarizes the key legal obligations around disclosure, weighting, and application of criteria according to EU procurement directives. Finally, it provides strategies for selecting tenders, including minimizing costs, maximizing quality, and balancing price and quality. It discusses how to develop measurable and non-measurable criteria and score offers in an objective manner.
This document discusses requirements and guidelines for Horizon 2020 projects involving pre-commercial procurement (PCP) and public procurement of innovative solutions (PPI). It outlines the minimum participation requirements, including having at least 3 independent participants from 3 different EU countries or associated countries. It describes the roles of beneficiaries, buyers groups, lead procurers, and subcontractors. It provides details on the eligible activities and funding rates for PCP and PPI actions. Finally, it gives an overview of upcoming Horizon 2020 calls in 2016-2017 that will support PCP and PPI projects in various domains like health, ICT, climate, and security.
This document summarizes efforts to help small and medium enterprises (SMEs) participate in public procurement contracts both within and outside of the European Union. Key points discussed include new EU directives from 2014 that established measures to reduce barriers for SMEs, such as dividing large contracts into smaller lots. Data shows SME participation in public procurement has increased in the EU since 2010. The document also outlines international cooperation efforts, such as a World Trade Organization initiative and trade agreements, to promote SME access to public contracts globally.

The document outlines the key steps in conducting a public procurement of innovative solutions (PPI). It discusses:
1) Understanding PPI and when it should be used to procure innovative solutions close to market.
2) The steps for preparing a PPI, including needs identification, market consultation, and developing a business case.
3) Conducting the PPI, including drafting documentation like the tender, selection criteria, and performance clauses to incentivize contractors and monitor progress.
This document discusses industrial catalogs in the context of the industrial internet. It begins with an introduction of Zoltan Patkai, who has a background in business systems engineering and procurement experience. The topics covered include Industry 4.0 and how it enables procurement, standardization and interoperability, and an example of European SME support through PEPPOL. Industry 4.0 is presented as an industrial revolution that will integrate manufacturing and information technologies. Standards are important for interoperable communication, ensuring safety, and assisting all parties. The PEPPOL initiative aims to enable businesses to communicate electronically with European public sector buyers to increase competition and provide better value.
A prior art analysis and IPR search is important in innovation procurement for several reasons:
- It helps identify what already exists in the market/state of the art to avoid duplicating solutions. This ensures resources are not spent on developing something that already exists.
- It provides information on patented or copyrighted solutions that could restrict what can be procured. Identifying IPR upfront avoids potential issues later in the procurement.
- The results of the analysis and search help define the need/challenge more precisely by identifying gaps between what's needed and what already exists. This helps focus the procurement on truly innovative solutions.
- Conducting due diligence on IPR informs the contracting authority's ownership and licensing strategy for any
Ramon Maspons is the Chief Innovation Officer at AQuAS, an agency that aims to improve Catalonia's healthcare system. AQuAS leads projects using public procurement of innovation (PPI) and pre-commercial procurement (PCP) to foster innovation. One example is THALEA II, a PCP project developing software for remote intensive care support. The consortium includes hospitals from Germany, the Netherlands, Spain, and Finland. Lessons learned from THALEA I and other projects indicate that strong consortium leadership, clear specification of outcomes rather than requirements, and engagement with decision-makers and end-users are keys to success for innovative procurement projects.
The document outlines the key steps involved in pre-commercial procurement (PCP), including:
1) Understanding PCP and its characteristics of competitive R&D procurement in phases, risk-benefit sharing, and separation from commercial deployment.
2) Preparing for PCP through needs identification, prior art analysis, market consultation, and developing a business case.
3) Conducting the PCP through drafting documentation, running a procurement procedure, and managing the phased approach.
4) Linking PCP to public procurement of innovations (PPI) by commercializing solutions after PCP and potentially procuring final products separately through PPI.
This document discusses eSPap's role in innovating public procurement processes in Portugal. The key points are:
1) eSPap aims to simplify, speed up and increase efficiency of public purchasing processes through framework agreements and an electronic procurement platform.
2) The platform supports all framework agreement procedures and allows over 1,800 public entities and 609 voluntary entities to conduct procurement.
3) eSPap has achieved increased transparency, security and process improvements in public procurement since 2009, with over 157,000 electronic tenders closed and 4.1 billion euros in contract awards through the system.
This document provides an overview of the PREFORMA project, which aims to develop open source software for testing file format compliance in digital preservation. The project is funded by the European Commission and involves technical partners and memory institutions. It will run testing and prototyping phases to create a software tool that memory institutions can use to ensure files intended for long-term preservation comply with standards and their own criteria. The project takes an open source approach and seeks to establish a developer community around its software.
This document discusses the role of small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) in the European Union's public procurement system. It outlines the main aims and principles of EU public procurement law, including non-discrimination, equality, fairness, and transparency. It also discusses barriers that SMEs face in accessing public contracts, such as large contract sizes and excessive requirements. The document then presents provisions introduced in 2014 to help SMEs, such as dividing contracts into lots and allowing subcontracting and consortia. Finally, it concludes that SMEs can provide benefits like lower costs, better quality and flexibility for contracting authorities, while also promoting economic growth, innovation and lower unemployment across the EU economy and society.
The document discusses public procurement systems in Eastern Europe and their relationship to the European Union. It outlines several agreements that Ukraine, Georgia, Moldova, Armenia and Azerbaijan have with the EU regarding legal frameworks and market access for public procurement. The goal of these agreements is to establish transparent, competitive procurement processes. Key reforms include approximating local legislation with the EU, establishing central procurement bodies, and independent review mechanisms. The process involves gradual legal and institutional alignment, with market opening conditional on reform progress. The ultimate goal is modern procurement systems in these countries that support their economies and business ties with Europe.
This document discusses how tendering authorities can stimulate innovation within small and medium enterprises (SMEs) through tenders below the threshold values set in European procurement law. It first summarizes the results of a study conducted on the procurement spending of a cooperative of 15 tendering authorities in the northern Netherlands. The study found that while the authorities share principles around supporting regional SMEs, there are differences in how much each authority's spending actually flows to regional SME suppliers. The document then focuses on the multi-contract tendering procedure commonly used for below-threshold contracts and explores how this and other procedures could encourage innovation among SMEs.

Geoff Chalmers is applying for a procurement position and provides a cover letter and CV highlighting over 20 years of experience in procurement across various industries, including oil and gas. He has a track record of delivering cost savings through strategic sourcing and managing procurement functions. His most recent role was as a sourcing specialist for bp managing laboratory supplies and MRO categories in Germany.
The document discusses public-private partnerships (PPPs) as effective tools to support knowledge-based growth in Europe. It notes that PPPs allow the public and private sectors to jointly develop, fund, and implement ambitious research and innovation agendas. They provide a structure to pool resources on a larger scale than individual firms could achieve. Ongoing PPPs in the EU include Joint Technology Initiatives that focus on key areas like innovative medicines, fuel cells and hydrogen, clean sky technologies, and bio-based industries. Horizon 2020 will continue to support PPPs and joint undertakings to promote European leadership in strategic technologies.
The document outlines the tender requirements and timescales for an R&D project. It discusses the exclusion, selection, and award criteria that will be used to evaluate tenders. Exclusion criteria relate to legal/ethical requirements, selection criteria ensure minimum qualifications are met, and award criteria score technical/non-technical aspects of tenders. The timeline includes publishing tender documents in October, a two month tendering period, and announcing results in December. Feedback on the proposed requirements is due by June 14th.
The document discusses the role of SME associations in encouraging research and innovation. It notes that over 95% of companies in the textile and clothing industry are SMEs, and SMEs have specific needs when it comes to research and innovation support. SME associations are well positioned to support the research and innovation needs of their SME members due to their industry knowledge, networking capabilities, and ability to communicate requirements to policymakers. However, associations also face limitations like lack of scientific expertise and potentially conflicting interests among members. The document provides recommendations for how associations can better support SME innovation and how policymakers can help associations in this role.
This document provides guidelines for public procurement processes in Ireland. It outlines key principles such as conducting procurement honestly, fairly and achieving best value for public money. It discusses procurement under and over EU threshold values. For lower value contracts below the EU thresholds, less formal procedures like verbal quotes may be used. Advertising is recommended for contracts over €5,000. Larger contracts above the EU thresholds must be advertised in the Official Journal of the EU and follow formal EU tendering procedures.
This document discusses framework agreements under EU procurement law. It provides an overview of framework agreements, including their benefits for contracting authorities and suppliers. Framework agreements allow pre-establishing terms for future contracts over a period of up to 4 years. They can save time for contracting authorities and provide price and supply stability. The document outlines the EU and Bulgarian legal frameworks for framework agreements and discusses different models for single and multiple supplier agreements. It also provides a case study of Lithuania's centralized procurement agency using multiple framework agreements with reopening competition for items like IT equipment.
The British Coatings Federation (BCF) is the trade association representing the decorative, industrial, powder, printing ink and wallcovering industries in Britain. The BCF's main functions are to promote and protect its members' interests, encourage industry prosperity, improve the business climate, and serve as an interface between the industry and various stakeholders. It provides a forum for manufacturers to discuss issues, agrees on industry positions, encourages best practices, monitors legislation, lobbies authorities, and more. Activities are carried out by experienced professional staff supported by member companies through committees and networks.
The European Commission's priorities for public procurement focus on six key areas: wider use of strategic procurement, professionalizing public buyers, increasing access to procurement markets, improving transparency and integrity, boosting digital transformation, and cooperating to procure together. The goals are to guarantee competition, enable efficient use of public funds, and support societal goals. Recent developments include new green public procurement criteria, innovation procurement guidance, a competency framework for public buyers, and directives on e-procurement and whistleblowers. Guidance was also issued on third country access and quality standards in procurement. Progress has been made in some regions, but challenges remain around best price-quality ratio, professionalization, and enforcement.
The document discusses public procurement of innovation (PPI) and pre-commercial procurement (PCP) initiatives being piloted by the European Commission. It provides an overview of PCP and PPI, explaining that PCP is used to fund applied research and development while PPI supports the early adoption of innovative solutions. The document summarizes the status of PCP implementation across Europe and provides examples of PCP and PPI projects in healthcare, environmental technology, and other sectors. It concludes by discussing revisions to EU public procurement directives to further support innovation procurement.

The document summarizes research on the impact of different regulatory regimes on the effectiveness of public procurement. The study used a quasi-natural experiment to compare procurement outcomes between two large universities in Russia - one that introduced more flexible procurement rules in 2011 and one that remained under the more rigid previous rules. Key findings were that the university with more flexible rules saw a decline in competition but better contract execution, in line with theoretical predictions that more flexible rules can improve outcomes despite less competition. The results were limited to two universities and future research could examine impacts on smaller organizations.

- The document discusses a study on the impact of municipal green procurement policies on private sector adoption of green building standards.
- The study finds that cities that adopted procurement policies favoring LEED-certified buildings saw a 7-13% increase in private sector LEED building registrations and 28% more LEED accredited professionals (APs) compared to similar cities without such policies.
- The policies are found to stimulate private green building by establishing the government as an early adopter of the LEED standard, helping to overcome inertia among private developers and complementarities between buildings and LEED APs.

Two surveys were conducted of Finnish firms and public procurers to assess the link between public procurement and firm innovation. The surveys found that a significant portion of supplier firms developed innovations in response to public sector contracts. However, public procurers reported that supply markets were often concentrated, limiting their ability to influence markets. The document outlines several policy implications to better support public procurement of innovation, such as facilitating identification of societal challenges, setting up market dialogue processes, and encouraging joint specification between procurers.

The document summarizes findings from a study examining the impact of public procurement on private sector innovation using US federal procurement data from 1999-2009. The main findings are:
1) Private sector R&D employment responds positively to increases in the technological content of public procurement contracts, as measured by the share of procurement spending in high-tech industries.
2) This suggests that shifts in the composition of government procurement toward more innovative, high-tech goods and services can stimulate private sector innovation.
3) Policymakers should consider how changes in the industry focus of public procurement may influence private sector R&D, in addition to traditional support programs like grants and tax credits. Public procurement can act as an effective, if

The document summarizes a project called Procu-Inno that is measuring the impact of public demand and procurement on firm innovation in Finland. The project includes surveys of firms and public procurement bodies. Preliminary findings suggest that public procurement can positively impact innovation in supplying firms and have catalytic effects in other markets. Key procurement practices that influence innovation are early interaction between firms and procurers and communication of future needs. The project aims to measure these impacts of public procurement and innovation policy.

Definitions - SEC(2011) 1427 final
Procurement: contracts in order to obtain, against payment of a price the supply of movable or immovable assets, the execution of works or the provision of services. This may include:
(1) Public pre-commercial procurement, which is an approach to procuring R&D services which involves risk-benefit sharing under market conditions, and competitive development in phases, where there is a separation of the R&D phase from deployment of commercial volumes of end-products;
(2) Public procurement of innovative solutions, which refers to the case where contracting authorities act as a launch customer for innovative goods or services which are not yet available on a large-scale commercial basis, and may include conformance testing.
Large-scale public intervention in research and innovation is needed, through both supply and demand measures, such as pre-commercial public procurement of innovation

Opinion of the Committee of the Regions on ‘Public procurement package’ (2012/C 39 1/09)
finds it regrettable that some new proposals are also difficult to understand and extraordinarily detailed, as well as adding a number of new provisions. Certain provisions to facilitate procurement have also been added, but other new additions add to the administrative burden on contracting authorities despite the fact that legal stability is required in order for public procurement to be carried out smoothly;
believes that it is certainly possible to develop simpler – but no less effective – rules for procurement, as demonstrated, not least, by the fact that the WTO's Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) is much simpler than the equivalent EU rules. The Commission is asked to significantly increase the thresholds for procurement. Given that a minuscule percentage of public procurement is cross-border, and in view of the administrative burden the regulatory framework creates for authorities and suppliers, the thresholds do not need to be as low as they are;
A simple regulatory framework would be useful in this context, too, as such enterprises do not have access to experts in procurement law and other fields. Businesses are experts in their own goods or services, not in procurement rules.
