The Partnership on Innovative and Responsible Public Procurement proudly presents its final Action Plan. With the seven proposed Actions, the Partnership seeks to facilitate a joint effort for a public procurement strategy of cities that facilitates and supports innovation and sustainability (social, economic and environmental).

The Actions relate to three clusters:

  • Developing relationships with economic operators; utilising the market potential and bringing it closer to the purchasers (Action 4);
  • Providing guidance on legal tools and improving competence on innovative and sustainable procurement (Actions 5-6).

  1. Guidance on building city strategic procurement and how to manage strategic procurement (Action 2.1.1)
  2. Measuring spend and wider impact in European cities (Action 2.1.2)
  3. Recommendation(s) for funding for procurement of innovation, strategic procurement, joint cross-border procurement and in particular social procurement and circular procurement (Action 2.1.3)
