Public Sector = “complex ecosystem”

roll out

• Every administrative change (process or law) requires an ICT solution or support system

• Huge innovation opportunity

• But key actors for innovation in the public sector appear only loosely coupled

• It‟s a 3-Dimentional problem. Complicated because each Member State has a different substructure (local, regional, national) plus the EU-level

Making the “ecosystem” more effective

• Industry must be involved in „shaping‟ policy initiatives by identifying future service possibilities

• Researchers must be STRONGLY connected to industry and anticipating future policy needs

• Administrations must anticipate and communicate their future needs

Competitive dialogueDIRECTIVE 2004/18/EC 31 March 2004 on the

coordination of procedures for the award of public works contracts, public supply contracts and public service contracts

Pre commercial procurement COM(2007) 799 final Pre-commercial

Procurement: Driving innovation to ensure sustainable high quality public services in Europe

Competitive dialogue: „Clarifying, specifying and fine tuning the need'

The competitive dialogue is a procedure introduced by Article 29 of Directive 2004/18/EC for use in the

procurement of 'particularly complex projects'. This legislation has the objective of providing for …

…. a flexible procedure which preserves not only competition between economic operators

but also the need for the contracting authorities to discuss all aspects of the

contract with each candidate.

THANK YOU!

To achieve all this:

• We need to THINK out of the box

• ACT out of the silo

Cooperation is key

to move forward!

“”If we in Europe do not do it, others will do it for us!”

Key questions 2B

• How can core public sector values and ethics be guaranteed in PPPs?

• What kind of minimal safeguards (legal, regulatory), or economic mechanisms (subsidies) should be considered?

• How can responsibility to achieve national economic development objectives be shared between the public and the private sector?
