This initiative aims at providing specialised training to (i) public buyers’ staff and to (ii) decision makers at both technical and political levels in order to build knowledge and capacity for execution of strategic procurement (with special emphasis on innovation at all levels of the public organisation). One of the avenues identified for improving strategic procurement uptake in general and public procurement of innovation in particular is via cultural change in the public sector. Through the implementation of the action, the participants will develop skills to increase their technical capacity on innovation at all levels of the public organisation.
