Project description
Based upon the findings from PCP of Innovative STEM/PLE, the LEA project will take a quantum leap from being one standalone project to develop a critical mass of European procurers in a network (LEA-N) who will:
- Empower LEARNTECH community stakeholders by knowledge transfer in order to remove barriers of innovative procurement
- Empower LEARNTECH procurers by development of common demand policies and identification as first customers
- Strengthen the dialogue between all LEARNTECH stakeholders (focus demand & supply side)
- Prepare a PPI of STEM/PLE innovations based upon the challenge on increased demand of personalized learning
- Prepare a common PCP based upon the needs identified during the project
- Investigate Innovation partnership procedure for flexible procurement
- Reduce the fragmentation of public sector/demand side within LEARNTECH sector
- Speed up awareness rising of PCP/PPI including cross sectoral value chains
Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) challenges industry from the demand side to develop innovative solutions for public sector needs and it provides a first customer reference that enables companies to create competitive advantage on the market. PCP enables public procurers to compare alternative potential solution approaches and filter out the best possible solutions that the market can deliver to address the public need.
Public Procurement of Innovative solutions (PPI) facilitates wide diffusion of innovative solutions on the market. PPI provides a large enough demand to incite industry to invest in wide commercialization to bring innovative solutions to the market with the quality and price needed for mass market deployment. This enables the public sector to modernize public services with better value for money solutions and provides growth opportunities for companies.
