Cyprus does not have a strategic framework for procurement for innovation and no secondary policy objectives have been set for public procurement. However, in accordance with EU public procurement legislation, public procurement practices demand that every contracting authority assesses the needed innovation parameters of the contract concerned. Contracting authorities can do so at their discretion; the innovation parameters are to be reflected in the technical specifications or other procurement documents. Thus, procurement for innovation is conducted on a case-by-case basis. In addition, Cyprus’s Employers and Industrialists Federation has established innovation awards for certain sectors, including public sector innovation achievements.
