What we are doing
The P2I project aims to improve institutional support for public procurers of information and communication technologies (ICT) and other product groups implementing innovation procurement by establishing or expanding competence centers for innovation procurement in ten EU Member States. Specifically, the project will build a permanent network of competence centres to facilitate networking, knowledge sharing, collaboration and best practice exchange on innovation procurement; support five existing innovation procurement competence centres to enlarge their scope, further increase their impact and enhance their services offered to public procurers; set up five new innovation procurement competence centres and guide them in effectively addressing public procurers and increasing the efficient use of procurement of innovation; support the competence centres in developing expertise to facilitate cross-border cooperation and joint procurement; and communicate and disseminate the tools, approaches and results developed by the competence centres at European level giving public procurers and other stakeholders in all EU Member States access to expertise and knowledge on innovation procurement.
