Summary
Innovation in public procurement is essential for sustainable and
inclusive growth in an increasingly globalized economy. To achieve that
potential, both the promises and the perils of innovation must be
investigated, including the risks and opportunities of joint procurement
across borders in the European Union and the United States.
This
in-depth research investigates innovation in public procurement from
three different perspectives. First, leading academics and practitioners
assess the purchase of innovation, with a particular focus on urban
public contracting in smart cities involving meta-infrastructures,
public-private partnership arrangements and smart contracts. A second
line of inquiry looks for ways to encourage innovative suppliers. Here,
the collected authors draw on emerging lessons from the US and Europe,
to explore both the costs and the benefits of spurring innovation
through procurement.
A third perspective looks to various
innovations in the procurement process itself, with a focus on the
effects of joint and cross-border procurement in the EU and US
landscapes. The chapters review new technologies and platforms, the
increasingly automated means of selecting suppliers, and the related
efficiencies that “big data” can bring to public procurement.
Expanding
on research in the editors’ prior volume, Integrity and Efficiency in
Sustainable Public Contracts: Balancing Corruption Concerns in Public
Procurement Internationally (Bruylant 2014), this volume builds on a
series of academic conferences and exchanges to address these issues
from sophisticated academic, institutional and practical perspectives,
and to point the way to future research on the contractual models that
are emerging from new procurement technologies.
