Greece’s national competence centre for innovation procurement is to be established under the country’s Ministry of Economy and Development; specifically, under the Directorate General of Public Contracts and Procurements (which is the national central purchasing body responsible for supplies and services). The centre will mainly aim to expand innovation procurement practices within the Greek public sector, but also has more specific objectives.
The centre will aim to increase the number of Greek contracting authorities participating in pre-commercial procurement and innovation procurement, but will also map the Greek procurement market with relevant players and perform co-operation and joint actions with them. And as part of the Procure2Innovate network, the centre aims to exercise successful joint procurement with another national competence centre, as well as more generally exchanging best practices on how to perform innovation procurement tenders and make the best of European Union tools.
