The interest in public procurement, which is more open to innovation, is strongly recommended by the EC, but Slovak practice is relatively conservative, although the legislation is relatively open.

PRONTO is therefore interested in using the ITAPA platform to organize a specialized training /workshop on a given topic with relevant stakeholders.

The training

7-9 December 2020 at 16:00
Hotel Crowne Plaza, Bratislava

The training will thematically follow up on the sections related to the new programming period and the “Recovery Fund”.
The current practice of public procurement in Slovakia is a serious obstacle not only to any innovation, but also to the normal activities of the state. So far, only about 15% of resources from the current (old) programming period have been spent (in the innovation-related sections).

Now comes a new era, and in particular a Recovery Fund to reform and support innovation. Without a fundamental change in the practice of Public Procurement, it is simply not possible to continue in the new situation.

The training will begin with presentations that will define the problem, followed by a moderated discussion with key representatives.
