CO2 Compass
This concept revolves around a CO2 calculation model as a decision-making tool to prioritize sustainability in public procurement and related processes.
The model enables stakeholders such as politicians, procurement teams, suppliers, and producers, to visualize the environmental impact of decisions. It does not aim to restrict progress but rather to offer alternative, sustainable options that accelerate the pursuit of impactful goals.
Success is envisioned as sustainability gaining higher priority in decision-making, increasing awareness and action in sustainability efforts. The system supports decision-making by providing access to accurate data, system tools, and expertise, rewarding sustainable choices and fostering a demand-driven approach to environmental responsibility.
Collaborative procurement
The concept involves creating specialized category teams for procurement in municipal operations, focusing on areas like mobility/transportation, IT infrastructure, and construction.
These teams, built from mostly internal expertise, aim to enhance collaboration between procurers, suppliers, and stakeholders through improved dialogue, training, and strategic tools.
The approach emphasizes early strategic dialogue and shared ownership of the procurement process, fostering collaboration, regular workshops, and market checks to adapt quickly to changes. Success would mean that public procurement becomes a driver for sustainable development, with defined category teams ensuring continuous improvement and greater efficiency.
Open Innovation Procurement
The concept revolves around using an open question methodology in innovation procurement, focusing on identifying and solving problems rather than prescribing specific solutions.
This approach emphasizes early dialogue with potential suppliers, allowing for a broader range of innovative solutions. By not defining exact outcomes upfront, the process creates space for new ideas and sustainable ecosystems to emerge.
Key principles include taking calculated risks by focusing on critical elements without restricting the overall solution, asking thoughtful questions to leverage suppliers' expertise, and fostering collaboration to address challenges holistically. The goal is to create added value, improve understanding among all stakeholders, and ensure a smoother process that leads to innovative, sustainable solutions.
Procurement collaboration hub
The concept introduces a dialogue platform designed to revolutionize public procurement by fostering communication, education, and collaboration among all stakeholders.
The platform combines digital and physical spaces to enhance knowledge sharing, business development, and professional competence within procurement processes. It aims to address gaps in understanding and transparency, ensuring that public funds are used efficiently and effectively.
By offering tailored education and collaborative tools, the platform bridges knowledge gaps, improves compliance, and enhances business outcomes. Participants engage in discussions, training, and knowledge exchange to align public and private sector needs, driving innovation and sustainable solutions.
The platform is built on the principles of inclusivity and professionalism, aiming to transform procurement into a dynamic, transparent, and business-oriented process. If successful, it will create a competent network capable of achieving sustainable, efficient procurement outcomes that benefit both public organizations and private suppliers.
