Innovation Procurement An opportunity for European regions and cities Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) & Public Procurement of Innovative Solutions(PPI) Viorel Peca DG CONNECT European Commission Innovation Procurement = PCP + PPI Complementarity • • PCP to steer the development of solutions towards concrete public sector needs, whilst comparing/validating alternative solution approaches from various vendors PPI to act as launching customer / early adopter / first buyer of innovative commercial end-solutions newly arriving on the market Applied R&D / Pre-commercial Procurement (PCP) Phase 0 Curiosity Driven Research Phase 1 Solution design Phase 2 Prototype development Supplier A Supplier B Supplier B Supplier C Supplier C Supplier D Supplier D Phase 3 Original development of limited volume of first test products / services Supplier B Supplier D Public Procurement of Innovative Solutions (PPI) Phase 4 Deployment of commercial volumes of end-products Wide diffusion of newly developed solutions Supplier(s) A,B,C,D and/or X Also normally multiple sourcing here to keep competition going Objectives for innovation procurement: – Price/quality products that better fit public sector needs – Earlier customer feedback for companies developing solutions – Better take-up/Wider commercialisation of R&D results Innovation Procurement A huge potential or … … simply a must !? Health care Climate Change Energy Efficiency Transport (Cyber) Security Public sector efficiency Waste management (reuse)…. • Public sector faces important societal challenges! • Addressing these, often requires solutions for which no commercially stable version exist yet. • • • In many cases, solutions are almost there (PPI) In other cases, still R&D is to be performed (PCP) Innovation Procurement (PCP & PPI) can improve public sector efficiency & quality + create business opportunities for industry Why innovation procurement? Win-win for all stakeholders Suppliers - Better products - Economies of scale - Wider market size - Shorter Time to market -Shared risks & benefits Politicians - Improve quality and efficiency of public services - New lead markets - Focus innovation - Increase export on political priorities - Global competitiveness - Increase employment - Stimulate local innovation ecosystem Innovation Procurement PCP + PPI Get the ‘Best Products’… - Reduce procurement cost … at the ‘Lowest Price/Risk’ - 20% lower cost first products - Shape industry R&D to public needs - ‘First time right’ product (interoperability - Gain technology knowledge from start, reduced customisation cost) - De-risk large deployment tender - Attract VCs to help make innovative - Encourage supplier competition SMEs more reliable to buy from avoiding supplier lock-in - Good practice example PCP/PPI contract documents available Procurers Evidence on impact from successful examples • Shortening of time-to-market: UK National Health service PCP examples achieve reduction from several years to 18 months • Attracting venture capital: Companies in UK NHS PCPs attract significant VC investment, enabling them to grow faster • Creating lead markets: Companies in UK ministry of defence PCPs are selling now also to US department of defence • Retaining lead market position: possible through sustained PCP procurements (e.g. 60 ys of supercomputing PCPs -> IBM, Cray, HP) • 20% cheaper products and higher product quality: evidence from US defense multi competitor, multi phase PCP-PPI procurements • Removal of supplier lock-in -> 20% cost reduction: outcome of benchmarking of NL Rijkswaterstaat PCP on new traffic management centres thanks to move towards open architecture via PCP • Benefits on local economy: Estonia buying Mitsubishi electric vehicles increased local Estonian economic activity in related sectors Time to do put ambitions into action Targets for Innovation Procurement in Europe 2020 strategy • • • Innovation Union: 10€Bn/Y on PCP & PPI from 2011 on, gradually growing DAE: double 5,5€Bn/Y public ICT R&D spending via PCP by 2020 Regional Flagship: promotes use of PCP/PPI to reach ESIF innovation target. Time for Action is 'Now' We cannot afford 'not to' Because underinvesting in innovation procurement in ICT domain is underinvesting in economic growth of your country/region • • • • • ICT is responsible for 40% of productivity growth in Europe ECB identified slow ICT adoption as key reason for efficiency lag public sector Public procurement accounts for 2000 €Bn/year (19% of GDP) in Europe Half of structural funds is spent through public procurement Majority of procurement budget in EU is spent at regional and local level ! Regional and local procurers can make the difference ! Innovation Procurement potential still underutilised Innovation procurement is 'the tool' that enables potential buyers to steer industry R&I to its needs. However, it is under-used in EU. PCP: PPI: US 50 $Bn 15% EU 2,5 €Bn of R&D public procurement/year 5% of e-gov solutions procured are 'innovative' • Also large differences within Europe €Mio 14000 (2011) 12000 10000 8000 Public Procurement of ICT Public Procurement of R&D Frontrunner Member States invest 5 times higher % of total public procurement budget than followers on ICT and R&D proc: 6000 4000 2000 UK France Germany Italy Spain Poland Denmark Netherlands Sweden Romania Finland Czech Hungary Belgium Portugal Austria Slovenia Slovakia Bulgaria Lithuania Greece Ireland Latvia Estonia Cyprus Luxembourg Malta 0 ICT procurement 13,5% in UK <-> 2,5% in GR R&D procurement 0,5% in UK <-> 0,1% in GR What can countries/regions do?

National PCP example - NL – Digital inspection dikes Dike bursts in Netherlands (2003-2004) PCP (2006): Developing/comparing possible solutions for real time dike inspection & early warning of dikes and dams Satellite based solution approach Sensor / chip based solution Optics based solution Camera based solution Helicopter based solution 2 complementary products (satellite, sensor)brought to market by PCP. Optics solution found financing itself as well. National PCP examples – UK and Italy - Healthcare Virtual Veins Potential £19m p.a. saving Clean Room £4,000 per HCAI avoided Non-invasive glucose meter Potential £30m p.a. saving One hand syringe holder Potential £160m p.a. saving Potential Value PCP type projects to NHS in UK: Improve the quality of the patient experience and generate significant cost savings (£236m). First effects on the companies: A number of SMEs in the PCPs have attracted significant financial investment (£290m). Is enabling 6 new small innovative companies to enter a market traditionally dominated by large vendors 21 PCP Niguarda Hospital – Lombardy region Easy-to-use automated universal system for moving hospital beds, with anticollision and safety systems, not needing guide lines or tracks even on non rectilinear routes Example transnational PCP - CONNECT Traffic Management CHARM project is lead by 3 road authority procurers: Rijkswaterstaat (NL), Highways Agency (UK), Department Mobility and Public Works - MOW (BE). Nine additional road authorities are associated to the CHARM PCP to maximise potential market uptake: Connekt (NL), Landesbetrieb Straßenbau NRW (DE), ASFINAG (AT), Trafikverket (SE), National Roads Authority (IE), Société des autoroutes de Paris et Normandie (FR), LGC transport (DK), Transport for London (UK), Mobiris (BE) The CHARM PCP focuses on the move towards an open modular traffic management architecture by getting modules developed that will optimise network performance, increase road safety and reduce CO2 emissions by improving network management, incident prediction and prevention and cooperative ITS. Benchmarking indicates 20% cost reduction on cost of traffic management centers can be achieved by moving towards an open modular architecture agreed across European countries. Latest News: CHARM call for tender closed on 23 October 2013. Offers are under evaluation. Max 12 tenderers expected competing in PCP phase 1, 9 in PCP phase 2, and 6 in PCP phase 3 Example transnational PPI - CONNECT Elderly Care STOP AND GO is led by 6 procurers: Regional Health Agency Campania (IT), Health agency province Catanzaro (IT), Health agency Rome (IT), Eastern Cheshire Clinical Commissioning Group (UK), Health procurement agency/Junta de Andalucia (ES), Gemeente Helmond (NL) The STOP AND GO procurers plan to undertake together a €17,2M public procurement of innovative solutions to trigger the market to deliver ICT based telecare services that enable to care for frail elderly that suffer from multiple conditions at the same time such as heart failure, diabetes, etc. Additional national and European health sector organisations that also participate in the project help to develop PPI tender specifications suitable for European wide deployment of the solutions. Latest News: STOP AND GO project expected to start March 2014
