The first Portuguese Competence Centre for Public Innovation Procurement, which will provide services to empower public innovation buyers and suppliers, was presented last October13th at 11 a.m. at the Ministry of Economy and Digital Transition.
The value of Public Procurement for Public Innovation (PPI) in Portugal ranges between 635 million and 1.3 billion euros per year. Portugal is, therefore, one of the European countries with the greatest margin of progress in PPI-friendly public policies. The implementation of a Portuguese Competence Centre for Public Innovation Procurement aims to provide services that will foster the expansion of knowledge on PPI in all public contracting entities and work towards improving market conditions to bring supply and demand closer together.
