The objectives are to enhance the efficiency of EU public procurement, making it more fair, green and socially inclusive procurement process.   Key goals and means to achieve them: The main aims of the strategy are outlined below: - Increasing the professionalisation of public buyers o A systematic problem with many EU countries is the low level of professionalization of public buyers, more professional public bodies will create more efficiency in public procurement, greater savings for public buyers, and provide greater European business opportunities, including for SMEs   - Facilitating the aggregation of demand o The aggregation of public purchasing has started to take hold in Europe. As aggregators (Central purchasing Bodies (CPBs) etc.) manage increasing shares of public procurement markets, they are becoming indispensable in promoting public procurement reform. CPBs are uniquely positioned to implement strategic or innovative procurements.

The most effective way to do this is to increase the transparency of the procurement process and its procedures. All public procurement officials should share a common sense of public utility and service.   - Promoting the strategic use of green procurement, social procurement and the procurement of innovation o Under EU rules, contracting authorities may take multiple factors into consideration when awarding public contracts in so far as they are relevant to the procurement service. These include a need to protect the environment, promote social consideration or foster innovation.   Green public Procurement guidelines are set in the handbook on environmental public procurement, giving examples of green procurement approaches and toolkits.  Socially responsible public procurement is about setting a positive example in the market place. Public authorities can offer incentives to companies to develop socially responsible management.  For Public Procurement of Innovative Solutions financial support is provided for the establishment of cross border procurer networks, this ends in 2016-17. A web platform helps exchange best practice and experiences in the procurement community.  The innovative partnership (2014) enables public purchasers to select partners on a competitive basis and has them develop innovative solutions tailored to their needs.   - Transition to end-to-end e-procurement o Encouraging the use of electronic tools in public procurement to:             Public Procurement Strategy DHI080516S0009  4 v.1 8/5/2016   Create significant savings for all parties  Simplify and shorten processes  Reduce red-tape and administrative burdens  Increase transparency of processes and procedures  Help foster innovation  Create new business opportunities through improved access to public procurement markets - New opportunities for enterprises, especially for SMEs, within the Single Market o The encouragement to divide contracts into lots, limiting the turnover required to participate in a tender procedure, and reducing documentation UHTXLUHPHQWV ZLOO DOO LPSURYH 60(¶s access to public procurement markets. o 7KH µ(XURSHDQ&RGHRI%HVW3UDFWLFHV)DFLOLWDWLQJ$FFHVVE\60(V WR3XEOLF 3URFXUHPHQW &RQWUDFWV¶ SURYLGHV JXLGHOLQHV WR IXOO\ XWLOL]H WKHpotential of the Public Procurement Directives.  - ,PSURYH(XURSHDQEXVLQHVVHV¶ access to world markets o EU companies will have a legal right to participate in foreign public procurement markets, and this will be coupled with promotion of a favorable regulatory environment for public procurement in non-EU countries.  - Action Plan on Public Procurement o The Action Plan sets out to make EU procurement more efficient, effective and competitive, key actions of the plan:  Comprehensive reform plans for countries non-compliant with public procurement legislation  A stock-taking study on administrative capacity in public procurement with country specific information and recommendations  A guide to support public officials across the EU to help adopt best practice  Piloting Integrity Pacts             Public Procurement Strategy DHI080516S0009  5 v.1 8/5/2016   A new index for rating contracting authorities performance  Training courses for managing authorities of EU funds or seminars on error rates  Targeted support to specific EU countries and exchange good practice Expected outcomes: By rethinking the entire approach to public procurement public administrations can be made more efficient, more effective and more citizen and business-friendly.
