Innovative public purchasing: a quicker way to access Smart Pooling®.
Innovative public purchasing aims to encourage innovation, improve the operational efficiency of public bodies and contribute to the development of innovative solutions to societal and environmental challenges.
In concrete terms, the Decree of 13 December 2021 on innovative purchasing and public procurement will perpetuate exemption from advertising and competitive tendering for innovative purchases under €100,000 excluding VAT (art. R. 2122-9-1 of the French Public Procurement Code).
This enables public bodies to acquire innovative goods, technologies or services while complying with public procurement rules and procedures. The aim of innovative public procurement is to stimulate the development of new and improved solutions, while meeting the specific needs of public bodies. It can also involve partnerships with private sector players, start-ups, universities or research centres to jointly develop innovative solutions tailored to the needs of public bodies.
