Public procurement at city region level
Description | Recommendations to overcome the barriers have been formulated. The findings have been presented in numerous conferences and reports/papers as reported in the project output summary file. Future research should focus on private demand for innovation, on organisational features in large, multi-layered public organisations and on schemes that link departmental missions with innovation. |
Exploitation Route | The findings are all concerned with concrete procurement practice and are thus all relevant for policy makers and suppliers. The recommendations are included in various academic publications, but have already been discussed with policy makers and industry. The pathway is through direct interaction, through trade journal summaries, through our own workshops and conferences. See sheet impact, policy influence and the other output sheets for the pathways created |

Description | INput into The Scale-Up Report on UK Economic Growth |
Geographic Reach | National |
Policy Influence Type | Citation in other policy documents |
Impact | The report seeks to influence the practice of central and local government in their procurement practice. The impact of our work is, first, on the report itself, where in terms of economic impact the following statement based on the Underpin work. is made "Central and local government should publicly report on the level of procurement they source from scale-up companies and their funding should be reviewed in terms of the amount of procurement they do with scale-ups". It is yet too early to see how much this concrete recommendation in the report has led to change of behaviour. The impact is potentially across all sectors of the industry that supply to the public sector, we cannot select a particular industrial sector as asked for above. |
