Full textAbstract:
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to discuss how a seller can use interactions to respond to public procurement needs for innovation when the buying side is restricted by public procurement regulations. Design/methodology/approach The authors collected data using qualitative semi-structured interviews of different empirical examples, in which private–public interactions of four different high-technological products are studied. Two products belong to the defence industry and two to the civil industry. Findings The findings point to three types of innovations in public procurement: product, service and business model. The empirical examples further indicate, as suggested in previous studies, that innovation is hindered by regulations that limit interaction between suppliers and the public. In addition, the empirical examples indicate that firms mobilize actors in their network when the buyer is restricted in regard to interaction. The findings also add to the IMP literature by comparing interactions in the three types of innovations in the public procurement context. Originality/value Public procurement is an area where innovations are lagging behind, compared with private procurement. Research points to limited interaction between actors as an obstacle to innovation in public sector collaborations. This paper extends the literature on how organizations interact in the setting of public procurement. The authors identify demand and supply triggers for three types of innovations: product, service and business model innovation.

Public procurement is the purchase of necessary goods, services, and construction by public institutions. Since public procurement uses taxes as a resource, efficiency should be prioritized in public procurement. However, considering that the purpose of public procurement is to promote the public interest, public entities can intervene in the market beyond the status of buyers.
In the era of the 4th Industrial Revolution, it is important to preoccupy the early market. It is difficult to induce corporate innovation only with traditional policies, such as preferential treatment of SMEs in the public sector. Creating new demand in the market, such as the purchase of prototypes by the public sector, can lead to corporate innovation, which is the starting point for innovation procurement. Innovation procurement can induce private innovation, and the problems faced by the public sector can be solved using private innovative ideas.
The current innovation procurement system of Korea focuses on ‘Pre-Commercial Procurement’(PCP)'. It is necessary to support from the R&D stage of the product and create a new market by linking it with public procurement. Therefore, the 'Public Procurement of Innovation’(PCI) should be introduced in innovation procurement.

In a globalisedworld, innovationis the driving force of the economy. In Poland, the public sector can support innovation to a large extent thanks to the Public Procurement Law, amended in 2016, which introduced a new procedure - innovation partnership. Judging by the scale of public spending, public procurement can become a powerful tool for the development of innovation in the economy. The aim of this article is to examine how innovation partnership can influence the effectiveness of investment projects. The assessment of processes related to the purchase of innovative solutions by the public sector with the use of public procurement and the innovation partnership mode shows that the use of this mode in various sectors of the economy may significantly improve the quality of tasks performed by them. In the study, the model method was applied based on the evaluation of the practice of using innovation partnerships in selected countries and the analysis of the transferability of these solutions to Poland. The evaluation took into account the specificity of public procurement procedures and innovation partnerships resulting from legal conditions and the national socio-economic environment. Weaknesses in the application of this procedure were identified, which cause that the innovation partnership is not a commonly used mode of investment projects implementation, and recommendations were formulated in order to reversethis trend.

Abstract Most quantitative evaluations report positive but small effects of supply-side innovation measures. Although the literature suggests that demand-side measures, in particular, public procurement of innovation, might be more effective in stimulating innovation than supply-side measures, empirical evidence on this proposition is scarce. To empirically test this proposition, we utilize the Eurobarometer 2014 survey to estimate the effects from public procurement of innovation as well as from the supply-side innovation measures on product and process innovations in manufacturing and service firms in the USA and Europe. Our findings suggest that the treatment effects of public procurement of innovation are indeed larger than the effects of supply-side public support on product innovation in both manufacturing and service sectors. This finding also holds for process innovation, but only in the service sector. In contrast, in manufacturing firms, the estimated effects on process innovation are only positive and significant in firms receiving public support.

Although substantial studies have discussed drivers or determinants of eco-innovation including environmental policies, research on relations between public procurement and environmental innovation is rare. This paper applies the propensity score matching (PSM) method to estimate the impact of public procurement on enterprises’ decisions to introduce innovations with environmental benefits, with 2014 Community Innovation Survey (CIS) data collected from firms in 15 European countries. The findings suggest that companies with a public contract are 5.7% more likely to introduce innovations with environmental benefits. Furthermore, this paper estimates the effects perfectly matching the types of eco-innovation, firm size, cooperative partner, nations, and industrial sectors. The firms that provide goods or services to public sectors have a larger possibility to be innovative for recycled waste, water, and material for their own use or sale (by 3.3~4.5%); for reduced energy use and CO2 footprint by end users (3.1~4.2%); for reduced air, water, noise, and soil pollution by end users (5.4~5.7%); for facilitated recycling of the product after use (2.6~3.4%); and for extended life length of the product (2.9~3.4%). The eco-innovation efforts in small (<50 employees) and large (>250 employees) companies are examined to be promoted by public procurement, with the magnitude of 5.0~6.3% and 7.5~10.6%, respectively. This study provides a creative theoretical framework of “dual-impetus” to explain the effect of public procurement on eco-innovation and is one of the first empirical research studies contributing to the discussions of the emerging topic by providing a more nuanced view of the heterogeneous effect of public procurement and companies’ eco-innovation behavior.

Full textAbstract:
In the modern conditions of the post-COVID world, the transformation of the world economy in the framework of the transition to the post-industrial paradigm, and the economy of “knowledge”, the national innovation system (NIS) plays a leading role in the formation of competitive sectors of any given country. Within this setting, the performance of the Russian innovation system significantly lags behind other countries and calls for modernisation based on the modern regulatory tools, policies, and world’s leading trends. The direct import of institutions of foreign innovation systems demonstrates its limited effectiveness due to the incompleteness of institutions and mechanisms for regulating the institutional environment of the Russian economy. One of the generally recognised, leading, and the most “universal” instruments for implementing innovation policy by government institutions is the public procurement of innovation. The analysis of international experience shows that the implementation of the innovation policy via innovative public procurement has a highly heterogeneous landscape even in such a “cohesive” jurisdiction as those represented by the European Union (EU) as far as different types of policy dominate in different countries of the world. There is no clear trend towards the only one mainstream regulatory approach. In this context, the Russian experience demonstrates de facto the absence of any centralised, transparent, and effective policy expressed in such pseudo-innovative procurement as refuelling cartridges or car repairs. This paper identifies the existing institutional failures of the Russian NIS on the example of the regulation of innovative domestic procurement. It proposes ways to modernise the current policy based on the institutional and narrative approaches in order to foster its leading position in the international competition. This article shows the gaps in the literature in institutional governance of innovations and innovation procurement in Russia and points at directions for future research based on narrative economics. Outlining the present knowledge as a foundation for future research in institutional governance of innovations, this article holds implications for both academics and practitioners in the field of the innovation policies and public procurement.

Purpose The prevailing view in the studies on Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) is that PPPs can improve the quality and efficiency of infrastructure services and facilitates innovation in infrastructure developments. Although researchers highlight the potentiality of PPP models for stimulating innovation, they do not prove whether and in which conditions the PPP model is capable of developing innovative solutions. This paper aims to provide answers to the following key research questions: Which are the PPP features that favor innovation? How properly structure a PPP to foster innovation? Design/methodology/approach With this aim, drawing upon the main streams of studies on innovation, the authors develop a conceptual framework that identifies the PPP features that can influence the innovativeness. Second, they define how these PPP features have to be structured to foster innovation. Finding The authors find that a wider involvement of the private sector will increase the level of innovation. The industry structure exerts opposite forces on innovation: the dominance of large-sized firms is positively related to innovative output, whereas the market concentration negatively affects innovation. Performance-based contracts should be used in the context of PPP instead of traditional contracts. Finally, the authors find that, to fully exploit the networking effects on innovation, cooperation and trusting among partners involved in PPPs should be enhanced. Originality/value The developed framework identifies the relations existing between each PPP feature and the level of innovation and allows to define how these PPP features have to be structured to foster innovation. The authors contribute to fill the gap in the academic literature on PPP and innovation by proving whether and in which conditions the PPP model is capable of developing innovative solutions. Furthermore, they provide meaningful guidelines to those called to structure the PPP arrangements.

Public procurement plays an important role in shaping GDP and it acts as a catalyst for the economy and business as a whole. The role of public procurement is especially growing during crises. The current situation around the world does not meet reliable expectations, therefore, in such a case, the business stops the movement of capital within the increased risk, both locally and internationally. At the same time, ensuring the transparency of public procurement and adapting to international standards is of particular importance for Georgia on the path to European integration. The effectiveness of public procurement is assessed by various factors, at the present stage, mainly economically efficient public procurement is distinguished, as well as procurements focused on innovation and care for the environment.

The promotion of innovation is a key objective of modern public policies promoting sustainable development and public procurement of innovation can be considered as a strategic instrument of such policies as it is clearly expressed by the recent EU Directives on public procurement. The concept and the requirements of public procurement of innovation (PPI) are studied in this paper identifying traditional obstacles to its dissemination and suggesting several initiatives allowing an easier application of this concept compromising legal traditions with innovative rules. Special attention is given to the new Portuguese legal framework transposing 2014 Directives focusing on its new potential but also on shortcomings that should be corrected shortly.

PurposeBuyer–supplier relationships in public procurement have garnered increasing attention in research, yet studies on the perspective of suppliers on public procurement have remained limited. This research takes the perspective of suppliers and aims to investigate the innovativeness of suppliers and the impact of supply chain ambidexterity strategies on their perceptions about public procurement in terms of innovation enablers and customer attractiveness.Design/methodology/approachThis research draws from a survey of 137 suppliers to the public sector in Finland and applies PLS-path modeling to test its hypotheses.FindingsThe findings reveal that the ambidexterity strategy of suppliers in the supply chain influences how they perceive the innovation enablers and customer attractiveness of public organizations since processes of public procurement do not support these strategies fully. Supplier innovativeness has an influence on the perceived innovation enablers of public procurement, which, in turn, influences customer attractiveness.Practical implicationsThe innovativeness and strategies of suppliers for the supply chain have an impact on how attractive they perceive public procurement. The findings of this research provide insights on why the customer attractiveness of public procurement may not be high enough to secure the competition in their bidding processes.Originality/valueThe study’s contribution adds to the field of buyer–supplier relationships and customer attractiveness in public procurement by showing the importance of innovation enablers and highlighting the impact of supplier's ambidexterity in the supply chain on their perceptions about public procurement.

The paper uses microdata from the Brazilian Innovation Survey to assess the effect of public procurement on firms’ private R&D expenditures. The PINTEC 2014 edition included in its policy module a new question about public procurement related to firms’ innovative activities. The paper uses this information to define a treated sample composed by firms that participated in public procurement with innovative attributes. The paper builds a control sample through coarsened exact matching and tests the effect of innovation-related public procurement on firms’ private R&D to sales ratio. The results suggest a positive impact of public procurement of innovation on R&D intensity. Data also shows that most firms involved in PPI are small and belong to low-technology sectors. These features disclose an important characteristic of the public procurement of innovation: its ability to target small firms and contribute to local development.

The Triple-Helix-Model stresses the idea that a successful national system of innovation ought to incorporate the complexity of three social subsystems: private sector economy, governmental system and science. Following the insight that the state and its agencies are important players in any system of innovation, we take a closer look at the innovative action in the public sphere. Therefore, we propose an analytical tool that allows a more detailed explanation of relevant determinants of innovative behaviour: (1) property rights, (2) capabilities, and (3) motivation. In order to show the relevance of these determinants, we tested the plausibility of our theoretical tool against the topic of public procurement of innovation. Five hypotheses were derived and then tested empirically by using a data set about German public procurement practice. Our linear regression model provides evidence for the hypotheses that framework conditions, special training, and motivation of procurement staff play a central role in demand-driven innovation of the public sector.

Full textAbstract:
Innovative procurement is an important tool for smart cities to improve the effectiveness and efficiency of public services, especially in sectors such as smart living (for example, health conditions), smart mobility, or smart environment (with emphasis on waste and water management). The European Union (EU) public procurement legislative framework encourages the deployment of innovation by several means (including, inter alia, the introduction of competitive procedures promoting innovation, use of award criteria based on factors other than price, and the life-cycle approach) and sets the scene for a more strategic procurement for EU smart cities. Despite the proven benefits of innovative procurement, public authorities, driven mainly by their preference to follow traditional tender procedures under solely budgetary considerations, have hesitated to introduce innovation. The case study of Greece is examined, and it is concluded that despite the adopted policy measures that are conducive for mainstreaming innovation procurement, innovation procurement in Greece is at an early development stage. One of the reasons that hinder the application of innovation-oriented procedures by public purchasers is their insufficient knowledge of the available legal framework. The broad objective of this article is to outline the main innovation-friendly tools, as set out in the applicable European public procurement legislative framework that smart cities should adopt in order to make strategic use of innovative procurement.

This article investigates the relation between public procurement (PP) and firms’ innovation, by analysing information on Italian firms. Taking advantage of the peculiarities of the Italian context, I test whether procurement firms report a higher propensity to innovate, and whether this propensity varies with the level of PP a firm engages in. Even in a country with a high polarisation in firm performance, PP is found to be associated with an increase in the probability of innovating, although this result is limited to micro/small firms, low shares of PP, and firms having product innovation as their target.

Purpose This study aims to highlight the effect of individual attributes of procurement professionals on goals concerning public procurement of sustainable innovation. Several barriers haven been observed regarding the application of public money to achieve these goals. Most research concerning these barriers focuses on organizational factors. Corporate initiatives are typically presented as a way forward tot achieve sustainable innovation. Less attention is paid to the efforts and attributes of the individual procurement professional. Design/methodology/approach A questionnaire was sent to 283 officials, involved in the procurement process of a large public organization. Findings As expected, a lack of top management support has a negative impact on sustainable innovation. Legal and regulatory complexity is less of a hindrance. The results indicate that both individual innovativeness and individual collectivism have a significant positive effect on sustainable innovation. Findings further suggest that an important way for an organization to achieve sustainable innovation is to allow individuals sufficient discretion to pursue sustainable initiatives. Many initiatives can be attributed to the individual innovativeness of procurement professionals. Originality/value The relation beween individual attributes of procurement professionals on the application of public money to achieve goals of sustainable innovation is investigated and can serve as a basis for further sudy on this subject.

To induce innovation in the public sector, Directive 2014/24/EU encourages internal and external consultation during the procurement process. However, little is known regarding the prominence of these practices. Determining the extent of knowledge sourcing in innovation procurement across 28 European countries, this paper presents an institutional cluster analysis, examining heterogeneity across knowledge sourcing activities, procurement areas, and tender innovation outcomes for 1,505 public procurers from 2008-2010. Building upon existing taxonomies, three types of procuring agencies are identified: Large collaborative agencies practicing public procurement of innovation (31%); supplier-focused pre-commercial procurers (20%); and direct procurers at the municipal level (49%). Validation supports this heterogeneity, using innovation outcomes and policy drivers. At the country level, Spain, the United Kingdom, Italy, Germany and Poland are most represented in respective clusters. Findings enable predictions regarding impacts on agencies and innovation from the new public procurement directive's translation into national law by Member States.

We introduce and study in this paper the policy design improvement regarding the public procurement process for public management innovation. Public procurement is obtained transparently and efficiently at the exact cost of goods, constructions, services, among others. In addition, it has decreased the national budget and supported the national economic development. Most of the major contributions of public procurement included support for small businesses, jobs, and balanced regional development. Nevertheless, a lot of issues have become apparent during the public procurement process, thus requiring preventive measures. The aim of this study is to demonstrate an enhanced public procurement process and develop efficient policies in the future. For this reason, we investigated the issues regarding South Korea’s public procurement process, and concentrated on policy improvement. It is our intention to provide a highly efficient global public procurement process that can be used as an academic paper that will help in developing South Korea’s public procurement process and policy direction.

Governments increasingly use novel forms of public procurement to stimulate innovation in public service delivery. A notable example is pre-commercial procurement. Launched by the European Commission a decade ago, pre-commercial procurement encourages research and development of new solutions for the public sector. However, limited theoretical and empirical studies have made it difficult to assess and improve use of the model to foster public innovation. Based on two pre-commercial procurement projects in Denmark, the article aims to complete the first systematic and theory-based evaluation of national experiences. The evaluation shows that sufficient resources, participant and management commitment, and focused management of the collaborative process contributed to successful development and testing of a new solution in one of the projects. Meanwhile, technical obstacles in developing a prototype resulted in termination of the other project. In this case, the pre-commercial procurement model cannot accommodate significant changes to the agreed solution during the innovation process.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to give a deeper understanding of public procurement for innovation and civil preparedness. The paper focuses on how the policy goals of innovation and preparedness are implemented in procurement practice, and explores the issues that affect innovation- and preparedness-oriented procurement. Design/methodology/approach The study is exploratory and based on empirical data from semi-structured interviews with 92 informants in the healthcare, energy and water services sectors in Finland. Interview data were analysed using a coding template, and further categorised to answer the research questions. Findings The study brings to light how procurers perceive the different but overlapping policy goals of innovation and preparedness, and whether and how the policy goals are turned into outcomes in the procurement process. Research limitations/implications The data were collected from case sectors in Finland. However, considering the adoption of European Union legislation, some of the findings are generalisable in other sectors, organisations and countries. Practical implications The paper highlights aspects that can aid procurers, suppliers and policy-makers in understanding how public procurement can be an instrument linking innovation and civil preparedness. Social implications It cannot be overemphasised that populations are exposed to more and, arguably, greater hazards. Public authorities can use innovative solutions and processes in meeting multiple objectives such as everyday societal needs as well as civil preparedness and planning. Originality/value Such research, purposely sampling case sectors providing critical services, has not been undertaken before in Finland. This work provides valuable information for organisations involved in public procurement, innovation and civil preparedness.

Public organisations develop sustainable public procurement (SPP) policies to compel suppliers to contribute to societal goals. Studies show that the ability, motivation, and opportunity that procurers have to procure in a sustainable manner affect the uptake of SPP. Most studies into SPP examine these factors only in the context of one type of SPP (e.g., green procurement). The goal of this paper is therefore to examine the relationship between ability, motivation, and opportunity and six types of SPP: (1) green public procurement, (2) social return on investment, (3) circular economy, (4) bio-based public procurement, (5) innovation-oriented public procurement and (6) international social criteria. An online survey was administered amongst procurers working in Dutch public organisations. The research shows that ability, motivation, and opportunity affect Green Public Procurement (GPP). Opportunity did affect green public procurement, innovation-oriented public procurement and circular economy, but not the other types of SPP. We were unable to identify an antecedent of more social types of SPP in this research. This research shows that findings based on GPP cannot be directly generalized to other types of SPP, and that there is a need for research into the antecedents of social types of SPP.

Abstract Research background: Public procurement for innovation has increasingly been the subject of EU policy makers. A lot of changes in the European directives and Polish law have been observed that facilitate the process required for the public procurement of innovation. Purpose: The purpose of the paper is an attempt to study a functioning public procurement system as a sourcing mechanism for innovative products and services in Poland. Research Methodology: Review of the existing legislation concerning public procurement especially the Public Procurement Law in Poland after its amendment of 2016 and analysis of the results of a survey conducted among contracting entities and contractors of public procurement. Results: The empirical study suggests that there is a deficit of knowledge of both contracting entities and contractors, concerning awareness and application of legal provisions facilitating procuring innovative products. The existing scale of innovative solutions’ application by contracting entities is very low, resulting from a lack of needs or due to the business profile, which does not contribute to increasing the demand for innovative products. Novelty: There is a lack of similar investigations in the Polish and European literature. It is worth stressing that public procurement viewed as a special case of innovation which is distinct from the procurement of a regular market. The empirical results are based on a study conducted in 2018 by the Public Procurement Office in Poland.

Public procurement management is a process in which national governments, local authorities, and their agencies order and pay for products or services needed to carry out their operations. The amount of public procurement in today's countries includes a portion of government spending and constitutes a significant share of GDP. The type of public procurement also includes the emergence of goods that did not exist before. This type of public procurement is most interesting for analysis and research because it focuses on the potential of the public procurement system to stimulate innovative activities and the emergence of innovative products and services, leading to economic development and competitive advantages in the global market. In this paper, we will focus on examples learned from developed countries that utilize the public procurement system to encourage innovation and development.

Recently, industry policy researchers have been more interested in public procurement, as a “demand side” policy approach. The mainstream exclusively targeted public procurement demand to push innovation and furthermore leads to the “first mover strategy.” This paper points out that procurement decisions are likely to have a broader innovation impacts, and mostly via their influence on intermediate outcomes such as the structure of industrial competition. In this paper, the author explores the specific features of public procurement as a competition shaping instrument, and conducts an empirical study to measure the correlations among the competition regulation of procurement contracts awarding, industry competition structure and dominant design cultivation efficiency.

Purpose The purpose of this study is to promote clean technology development and diffusion through public procurement. Finland is ranked high among the countries that develop clean technology innovations. Innovative public procurement could be one means to boost the diffusion of such technologies. However, this potential is still somewhat unexploited, as innovative public procurement is an unsystematic method of procuring in Finland and the EU, partly because of an inability to understand innovation potential in the market and to implement innovative procurement. Design/methodology/approach In this paper, the authors illustrate how cleantech aspects can be integrated into the public procurement process. The authors study the key success factors and conditions that have led to a successful cleantech procurement process by exploring realized cases of innovative public clean technology procurement. Findings The results suggest that innovative public procurement, in which clean technology is an integrated part, may occur in different forms, from a procurement of a highly improved product or solution to a product-service system or a collaborative symbiosis system. Life cycle consideration, strategic commitment and recognition of needs of the procuring unit were prioritized as the most important factors leading to successful integration of cleantech aspects into procurement process.

The use of public-private partnerships (P3s) has increased in popularity with governments worldwide as a way of meeting ever-increasing demands for infrastructure, such as highways, water supply and wastewater treatment facilities, hospitals, and schools. One of several arguments forwarded by P3 advocates in support of one or more P3 variants as a procurement mode (in place of traditional design–bid–build (DBB) procurement for delivering such infrastructure) is the ability of a P3 to harness more of the innovative capability of the private sector. It is asserted that this capability results in lower capital or life-cycle costs, shorter delivery time, and enhanced long-term project performance. In this paper, we examine the notion that the innovation potential of the private sector is a function of delivery mode, and we describe findings from a study to identify evidence to support or contradict such a viewpoint. We have identified 22 factors or conditions that can act as drivers or inhibitors of innovation for infrastructure projects as a function of procurement mode and project context (e.g., project type, project scale, nature of competition, risk assignment). The product, process, organizational–contractual, and financial–revenue innovations achieved on a major transportation project are then reviewed, and innovation drivers that were present are discussed. The factors and conditions influencing the choice of procurement mode for a large-scale student housing facility are also discussed.Key words: infrastructure procurement, public–private partnerships, innovation drivers and inhibitors, case studies.

The purpose of this article is to analyze and rate ideas related to functioning of the public procurement system, in particular the so called “green orders”, in terms of its impact on the development of eco-innovative solutions in the construction industry.
The public procurement system, due to its obligatory character for many business entities and significant value, establishes the directions of development for many industries, especially the construction industry. The pace of technological progress accomplished after Poland’s accession to the European Union and competing on the global market requires constant implementation of innovative solutions. Public procurement also amplifies the demand for ecological goods and services from public institutions, being one of the most effective instruments of implementing such solutions. The European Union has issued a number of directives, decrees and communiques governing the rules, capabilities and desired range of applying ecological criteria of conferring public procurement. The essay outlines the current situation of ecological public procurement and provides practical examples of creating innovative and sustainable growth, based on the construction industry.
Construction significantly drives the economy, which vulnerable to crises and turbulence. Green public procurement, together with ecological innovations, can positively impact the development and stabilization of the industry, due to its orientation towards sustainable growth.
Experience drawn from other, particularly Western European, countries, such as Germany, Austria and Scandinavian countries, which have a high level of energy efficient and passive constructions based on ecological innovations thanks to research and implementations performed by various institutions and government grants, is a significant benchmark for Poland and the only way of reducing construction costs, which could comply with the EU directive in the near future.
It seems that both researchers and practitioners appreciate the West European line of work, as institutions and initiatives towards implementing sustained construction are being created in Poland. These include, among others: operations of the Polish Institute of Passive Building in Gdansk or Center for Energy Efficient Buildings in Lesser Poland, in Kraków.
Referring to Western European experience, the solution lies in developing our own research facilities, institutions testing and implementing new, native (ie. less expensive) and innovative technological and material solutions.
Cooperation and skill sharing between researchers and practitioners, such as architects, constructors, producers and developers is necessary, as are initiatives towards training staff qualified in building such houses and constructing appropriate equipment on a high school level.
The practical examples of Lesser Polish public finance units outlined in this article denote the existence of ideas and willingness to create new solutions among the Polish engineering staff.
These initiatives, however, require sufficient financial support and research facilities, which can be achieved thanks to the current implementation of a new public procurement law, increasing the role of sustainable procurement.
Furthermore, public investor awareness is increasing in the range of introducing sustained development rules, especially in the utilization of green procurement in the building sector, as evidenced by public facilities constructed in the passive and energy efficient standard.

Abstract The European Union has been highly emphasising the role of public procurement for innovation as a policy instrument that can be used to stimulate sustainable development. This development reflects and responds to improvements in social welfare, growth of entrepreneurship and of national competitive advantage. In the process of selection, the awarding tender public procurement institutions lack an overall approach for choosing the most advantageous and sustainable innovation alternative. To contribute purchasing of innovative solutions, the present paper elaborates a framework of innovation measurement and quality evaluation. Thus, it makes possible to assess proposals from different aspects and to choose the most valuable offer notwithstanding the lowest price criteria. The paper studies the concept of public procurement, its pitfalls and prospects, dimensions of innovation definition and innovation added value assessment. The authors conducted expert interviews, which were analysed using an AHP method in order to set the most appropriate evaluation criteria indicator. The authors also designed the framework for assessing the quantitative and qualitative value of innovation proposals. The proposed approach is based on the analysis of innovation quality, added value, its potential impact and the sustainability of changes it produces.

The article deals with the actual and important issue of maintaining a balance of interests of the customer, as well as the principles of the contract system in the field of procurement of goods, works, services for state and municipal needs, such as stimulating innovation, procurement efficiency, implying the priority of providing state and municipal needs through the purchase of innova. In practice, it is often judged only by the number of participants in the competitive procedure, often acting as resellers of the same product, which does not allow the customer to actively stimulate innovation. The principle of ensuring competition is one of the principles of the contract system: the contract system in the field of procurement is aimed at creating equal conditions for ensuring competition between participants in procurement. In 2022, significant changes came into force in the law 44-FZ “On the contract system”, including in terms of conducting competitive procurement procedures. The scientific novelty of the work lies in the study of various aspects of maintaining the balance of interests of the customer and protecting competition in procurement activities in the context of changing the legislation. The work uses general scientific research methods: comparison, analysis and the method of expert assessments.The article is aimed at analyzing the balance of interests of the customer, as well as the principles of stimulating innovation, the efficiency of procurement and the principle of ensuring competition and developing recommendations in this area.

The subject of the study is the problems of institutional and methodological-legal regulation of the contract system of public procurement.The relevance of the problem is due to the fact that there have been changes in the structure and composition of forms of contract activity as a result of the 2017 adoption of amendments to Law No. 44 in the dynamics of the distribution of order placement procedures.The purpose of the study is to develop a scientific methodology for calculating the effectiveness of procurement activities on the basis of a comprehensive assessment of the effectiveness of public procurement on a contractual basis, plan-fact analysis, and the implementation of the principles of compliance control in public procurement management.The paper uses methods of statistical and comparative analysis, generalization, classification and valuation. The paper shows that the present disadvantages of institutional regulation of procurement processes have a negative effect on their effectiveness, requiring improved oversight of public procurements as well as analytical and methodological support. The authors suggested that the principles of compliance-control of public procurement management be applied on a contractual basis in order to increase the level of credibility and legality of activities conducted in procurement. The author’s vision of the content of the methods of calculating the performance of procurement activities on the basis of a comprehensive evaluation of the effectiveness of public procurements on a contract basis is presented. For the collection of data for plan-fact analysis, their systematization for further calculation of performance indicators of public procurement on a contractual basis, a specialized form “Data Summary for Plan-Fact Analysis of Procurement” is proposed. If the procurement proposals presented in the study are implemented, they will increase the efficiency of the Russian public procurement contract system, the responsibility of participants in it, and the professional competence of officials.

Purpose The purpose of this paper is to estimate and assess the impact of public procurement activities of an Italian basic research center (the National Institute for Nuclear Physics [INFN]) on supplier companies. Design/methodology/approach Starting from the exploratory nature of this research, a single case study research strategy has been applied. The impact of basic research public procurement has been estimated using survey data on 168 INFN supplier companies. Supplier companies have been surveyed on six different categories of company outcomes, namely, sales volume, learning and innovation, relationship with the market, alliances and network and social impact. Findings Results of the analysis reported that the activity of INFN public procurement generates a positive impact on supplier companies on different dimensions, especially related to learning and innovative outcome and economic impact and market penetration outcome. Social implications Policy implications can be derived from the current study. In particular, to support the policymakers in the effort of assessing the impact of basic research public procurement, this study, first highlights the impact dimensions on supplier companies, and second, it provides empirical evidence of public procurement as a viable tool to foster companies’ innovation. Originality/value This research explores a relevant but understudied topic that has recently attracted the attention of policymakers. In fact, although public procurement have been recognized as a tool to foster companies’ innovation, empirical evidence is still scant, particularly in the case of basic research.

In developed countries, public procurement is used to incentivize private companies to invest in innovation. But, governments of developing countries fail to do as much. However, since the size of the market in these countries is small, obtaining and carrying out large public contracts are opportunities that private companies must seize in order to innovate. This present research analyzes the effect of public procurement on the incentive of private companies to innovate. We use primary data collected from private companies participating in large public tenders in Burkina Faso. The results obtained from probit model with instrumental variables (IV probit) show that public procurement effectively exerts positive externalities on the incentive of private companies to innovate. However, to further increase the influence of public procurement on the private companies’ incentive to innovate, the government needs to ensure that the procurement process is free from imperfections such as corruption and information asymmetries that may limit their efficiency in this area.
