As previously outlined in our earlier insights, Public Procurement of Innovation (PPI) can be complex and costly. Before a PPI procedure is initiated, it is important to understand its benefits and how they can be optimised. It is also advisable to understand the potential risks associated with implementing these procedures and to identify effective risk mitigation measures. This Insight will first outline the benefits of PPI and the factors that contribute to its optimal use, and then some potential risks that may arise during the implementation and measures to mitigate them.
