Creating a Good Local Economy through Procurement

Programme 2014 - 2020 URBACT III

Date of latest update: 2025-01-21

Description

Description (EN):

Local economies are key to local economic prosperity. Although local economies are recovering, they still face unprecedented challenges. Public / anchor institutions are responsible for significant amounts of spend on goods and services in their locality. Creating a Good Local Economy through Procurement (Procure) will explore how to harness the spending power of these institutions using procurement to bring about economic, social and environmental benefits for businesses and people which in turn will have a positive impact on the city and its local economy.

Achievements (EN):

Driving innovation in public procurement: The goal of this Action Planning network was to explore how to harness the spending power through procurement of public and anchor institutions in the partner cities to bring about economic, social and environmental benefits for businesses and people which in turn will have a positive impact on the city and its local economy. The topics to be explored include: the regulations and law at both European and national level, and what cities are able to do around innovative procurement; how to analyse procurement spend and develop a procurement strategy; the use of social criteria and environmental criteria in procurement; and how to raise awareness of procurement amongst local businesses and SMEs.
