The document will take you step-by-step through the creation of a competence centre for innovation procurement, starting with the basics and working towards more advanced requirements. While we consider these steps to be somewhat consecutive, the individual circumstances in your country will define in which order you are completing the steps.

This is also the reason why this document is not meant to be exhaustive. It aims to guide and inspire as well as identify the bare minimum needed to run a competence centre. Further steps, tailored to your national or regional situation, will be required to ensure the optimum support for public authorities.
