Within the series of dialogues on Public-Private Partnership the Club Public Management, ESADE Alumni has organized , has undertaken a new activity on innovation and public procurement. Angel Saz, professor professor at the Institute for Governance and Public Management coordinated a panel composed of experts (Montejo-Pepa COTEC ), public actors (Juan Manuel Garrido- CDTI) and private (David Pascual- INDRA).
The first important idea that our guests agreed was the lack of focus strategic ("know well the specifications and the law") on a key issue, bearing in mind that the public market is a 15% of GDP in Spain and the importance of innovation to overcome the crisis. While in Europe have been prioriarios other aspects such as the single market, transparency, etc. in the U.S. for years used public procurement to promote innovation in sectors such as energy, transport, health, defense, etc..
Public procurement of innovation (CPI) is essentially an instrument of demand that is intended to stimulate innovation and internationalization, stimulate the emergence of new business segments . While regular public procurement can achieve these goals in part, is the CPI - buying budgets combined with R & D budgets, the real change of paradigm: the effect of stimulus drive innovative change is adding an additional risk because they are bought new products or services to better deliver citizens. And that risk is shared: they compete in innovation, they themselves can also take the initiative and offer new developments that have made the Administration, and buy something that does not exist.
The CPI covers two areas: public procurement of innovative technology (CPTI) and pre-commercial public procurement (CPP). CPTI is to buy entire new to be used . Is regulated by the law of public sector contracts (a contract through public-private partnership). The CPP, but is also in the LCSP - contracts for services R & D focuses on obtaining a prototype that does not have to keep the buyer and there is no requirement of equal treatment.
Spain is at the bottom of innovative public procurement. The government's goal is to change this reality: By agreement of the Council of Ministers of 08.10.1910 promotes the ICC within the State Innovation Strategy . This will act on the application (review the regulatory environment to include the ICC, tests to see where to apply - administrative modernization, green economy, health, tourism, defense) and supply (financial instruments, pilot actions, stop especialzada "fast "track").
are several success factors in the development of the ICC . By the AAPP, the proper conduct of public procurement process and a change in the "skills" of the public buyer (eg to be able to evaluate the innovation). By the industry must be proactive in presenting innovative projects, understand the differences between public and private sector and be able to network (SMEs, research centers, universities, etc.).
As all the speakers agreed on is that the process is beginning. General ignorance (ministries or departments of innovation) is still large. is needed first and then raising an important process of coaching with good advise reference. Nor are there clear incentives for managers to overcome public fear of risk and opt for the ICC. Any response is occurring: for example booking a% of each department's budget for such purchases (so you have to make yes-yes ")
