Public procurement can be a key tool in driving the development of innovative goods and services on the European market. The European Commission has decided to launch the “Big Buyers Working Together” project to support collaboration between public buyers with strong purchasing power and promote the wider use of strategic public procurement for innovative and sustainable solutions. By working together and pooling their resources, cities, central purchasing bodies, and other major public buyers can maximise their market power and impact.
The European Assistance for Innovation Procurement (EAFIP) initiative supports public procurers across Europe in developing and implementing innovation procurement. The aim of the EAFIP-initiative is to promote good practices and reinforce the evidence base on completed innovation procurements across Europe. To encourage other public procurers to start new PCP and PPI procurements and to boost the digital-green economy recovery through Innovation Procurement (PCP & PPI). Since the start in 2015 EAFIP organised 12 successful events and 13 webinars, created a knowledge-packed toolkit and 12 informative videos, and provided assistance to public procurers in the development and implementation of their innovation procurement. No less than 26 innovation procurements of high impact ICT-related solutions were supported through EAFIP up to present. Across Europe, public procurers are able to move ahead with innovation procurements.

Los contratos públicos desempeñan una importante función en las economías de los Estados miembros y se estima que generan más del 16 % del PIB de la Unión. Antes de que comenzara a aplicarse la legislación comunitaria, únicamente se adjudicaba a empresas no nacionales el 2 % de los contratos públicos. En algunos sectores —construcción, obras públicas, energía, telecomunicaciones e industria pesada—, estos contratos desempeñan un papel crucial, y tradicionalmente la preferencia por los proveedores nacionales se ha derivado de normas legislativas o administrativas. Esta falta de competencia abierta y eficaz era uno de los obstáculos para la realización del mercado interior al elevar los costes que habían de asumir los órganos de contratación e inhibir la competitividad en determinados sectores clave.

In 2020, the iProcureNet project conducted an online survey among European public procurers. The aim of the survey was to learn more about existing (cross-border) joint public procurement initiatives throughout Europe, to collect examples and to identify good practices and pitfalls to be avoided. The survey was run among all sectors of procurement, assuming that insights into obstacles and good practices in other sectors can feed into iProcureNet's study of the security sector. An overall of 41 responses from 14 countries (Germany, Ireland, Romania, Turkey, Estonia, France, Switzerland, the US, Portugal, Italy, Finland, Greece, Slovakia, and one unspecified) was obtained.
From our procurement lawyers’ experience (CMS – EURIPHI partner), procurement entities active into healthcare consider it to be a challenge to apply public procurement procedures to healthcare purchases (medical devices, drugs, support services and innovative solutions and technology). These purchases are indeed often highly sensitive, with even lifesaving aspects, they are crucial for the physician’s and hospital employees’ activities and are in general very innovative and evolving goods.
Innovation procurement can improve the economic recovery of the EU after the COVID-19 crisis with better public investment. It is a major tool to foster the transformation of our economy towards a green and digital economy. Adopted in the context of the Communication on “A renewed European Agenda for Research and Innovation – Europe’s chance to shape its technological leadership” and the input to the Leaders’ informal dinner in Sofia on 16 May 2018, this guidance is updated following the adoption of the European SMEs and Industrial Strategies and of the Recovery and Resilience Facility.
