3 Hurdles in procuring innovative solutions Current situation, why public sector is not innovative in Finland Lack of expertise and knowledge of procurers Limited interaction between buyers and suppliers Absence of strategy to link policy objectives, procurements and market/ technology developments Perceived conflict between value for money and innovation Tendency to favour lowest cost bids Fragmented markets Limited networking and collaboration between procurers

4 Funding scheme for public procurement of innovation Funding available for the procurement unit for preparing procurement To define what is procured, market dialogue, defining criteria Buy competence when needed End user About 70 project funded so far ( ) Main focus areas so far: Construction and real estate Social and health care Innovations Energy and environment, water supply Aim Buyer Goal is to create added value, for example by having lower life cycle costs, by offering better quality, by employing innovative processes and by environmental friendliness Develop new markets, new services Stimulate innovations on markets with tradition on pure price competition Demonstrate new technology and innovations, references for SMEs The funding typically amounts to 50% of a project's total costs.

6 Key lessons learned so far - How to promote innovations through public procurement Need identification, outcome-based specification (long term perspective, functional specifications), procuring results Focus on procurement methods, contract models, incentives, competitive dialogue Market dialogue prior bidding process, openness for unexpected and innovative solutions, engage suppliers broadly at the early stage Engage end-user and other stakeholders in the process

7 Key lessons learned so far - How to promote innovations through public procurement (2/2) The buyers are unaware of the possibilities of procurement of innovation if you ask for innovation you get innovation! Need to allocate resources to the pre-procurement / development phase Markets are not changed by one single project, the market need a signal of continuity in order to keep developing

8 Smart procurement program M The aim of the Smart Procurement program is to create smart demand, which will provide the prerequisites for new market creation and growth. Smart demand will allow companies to develop their competitiveness through first commercial references, providing the best possible solutions to many of society's major challenges. The vision is for Finland to be known as a model country of smart demand one in which smart customers create new markets for internationally competitive innovations.

9 Smart procurement Energy and environment ICT Health care Built Environment Security and safety Private strategic procureme nt Main focus areas for the program are those areas where the public (or private) procurement has major impact on the market. The main impact comes from bringing innovative supply and demand together.

10 Aim of the program First commercial references for innovative SMEs. New research knowledge about the impact of smart procurement Creation of thematic or geographical centers where innovative supply and demand meet Examples of improved public services through innovative procurement. Smart (private) procurement shortens the time for innovations to enter the market Influence the general attitude for innovative procurement as an enabler for renewal To build a Tekes toolbox for demand ILU side innovation
