Innovation procurement training for cities
Public procurement is a powerful tool that accelerates innovation among public sector users and provides innovative companies opportunities for growth. The strategic use of procurement has become significant in the innovation policy agenda in several EU countries and is at the core of the new EU public procurement directive (2014/24/EU). The EU-funded BUILD project will integrate the highest-quality capacity building tools to deploy training and capacity building services to cities. The project will train public and private procurers, SMEs and start-ups through onsite and online actions on the topics of guiding principles, legal knowledge and procedures, preliminary market consultation, pre-commercial procurement, competitive dialogue, competitive procedure with negotiation, innovation partnership, legal questions and considerations, and risk assessment. |
