Expert Workshop on the Measurement of Public Procurement of

OECD Headquarters (Château, Meeting Room D) - 2, rue André Pascal - 75016 Paris Monday, 4 February 2013, 09:30-17:30

The OECD Directorate for Science, Technology and Industry (DSTI) is carrying out a new project on the role of public procurement in innovation systems in OECD member countries and partner economies. This project seeks to identify what concepts, definitions and measurement approaches can be used to produce policy-relevant indicators on the procurement of by public authorities – i.e. public procurement of innovation or PPI – and to carry out analyses on the impact of procurement policies on innovation and broader economic outcomes.

The objective of the workshop is to review the progress made to date and help steer the future direction of the project. In particular, the workshop is intended to help identify what key users’ needs are for producing data and indicators on PPI and to explore the potential of existing and new sources and approaches to meet such needs. The discussions will highlight avenues for further analytical work and will contribute to the review of existing OECD guidelines for measuring R&D and innovation.

The project, which is part of the Programme of Work and Budget of the Committee for Science and Technological Policy’s Working Party of National Experts on Science and Technology Indicators (NESTI), benefits from voluntary contribution support from the European Commission’s DG for Enterprise and Industry within the framework of the OECD-EU Partnership on Innovation.
