In this brochure, you will find an overview of

the services each Competence Centre offers

for public procurers and innovative companies,

especially highlighting the new services, which

were developed during the Procure2Innovate

Project, thanks to the exchange of expertise

between the Competence Centres.

Procure2Innovate aims to improve institutional

support for public procurers implementing

innovation procurement in a range of sectors. It

does this by both establishing new innovation

procurement competence centres, and enlarging

the scope of support offered by existing

competence centres in 10 European countries.

Funded by the European Commission through

the Horizon 2020 research and innovation

programme, Procure2Innovate does:

• Build a permanent network of competence

centres that will facilitate knowledge

sharing, collaboration and the exchange of

best practices;

• Support (at least) five existing innovation

procurement competence centres to enlarge

their scope, increase their impact, and

enhance their services for public procurers;

• Establish five new innovation procurement

competence centres, helping them to

support public procurers as they become

ever more established and experienced in

the field;

• Spur mainstreaming PCP and PPI across

Europe;

• Support all competence centres to develop

expertise in cross-border co-operation and

joint procurement;

• Communicate and disseminate the tools

and approaches (and results) developed

by Procure2Innovate competence centres

at a European level. This is key to making

innovation procurement knowledge

accessible to more public procurers and

other stakeholders.
