The Netherlands have a goal to spend 2.5% on innovation. There is a stand-alone procurement for innovation action plan: the programme “Innovatiegericht Inkopen”, which includes the use of PPI, PCP, SBIR and other instruments that stimulate innovation among contracting authorities prior to the actual procurement. The programme focuses on the stimulation of the dialogue between contracting authorities and businesses prior to the actual procurement, the insight in market challenges and demand articulation. Procurement for innovation aims at providing room for innovation in public procurements and actively challenging businesses to deliver innovation.
