LCS: PUBLIC PROCUREMENT, FEASIBILITY STUDY

closed

To implement urban renewal and urban development initiatives, within the framework of initiatives for deprived areas, small and medium-sized enterprises and the appropriate investors are needed. These development drivers need to study and improve different approaches to urban renewal and development. A seminar was held in Rostock to launch the study, in June 2007 and another seminar, on the theme: “public procurement contracts, a strategic driving force for economic development in the regions”, was held in Lyon on 5-6 September 2007. The objectives were as follows: to establish consensus between public procurement professionals, to demonstrate the role played by public procurement services in regional economic development and suggest possible improvements for each city. The seminar was organised into 6 workshops: >Inventory of public procurement in the public authorities observed >What resources are available to improve access to public contracts by very small, small and medium-sized companies? >Examples of public contracts dealt with by vSMEs >What does “making public procurement more professional” mean? >What stakes are involved and what added value can be generated by “making public procurement more professional”? >What would the ideal organisation be for regional public procurement services?
