Transformativa lösningar och offentlig upphandling (Report)
/
Role: author
Summary
Denna text är en slutredovisning av arbetet med att analysera hur offentlig upphandling kan stödja innovation för hållbarhet som levererar transformativa lösningar.
Arbetet utgår från tre grundfrågor:
Hur kan innovation för hållbarhet ges bättre stöd inom befintligt regelverk för offentlig upphandlingen?
Hur kan myndighetsvärlden engagera olika delar av företagsvärlden i proaktiva
samtal kring hur viktiga hållbarhetsproblem kan lösas?
Hur kan myndigheter via upphandlingen bli ”early adopters” och inte ”laggards” som håller utvecklingen tillbaka då det gäller användandet av transformativa hållbara lösningar?
Metoden utifrån insamlat material och föreslår möjliga vägar framåt. Texten är baserad på textanalyser, intervjuer, två workshops, en enkät och ett pilotprojekt.
The procurement investigation (Swedish Government Official Reports 2013:12) has identified meetings and mobility as an area where there are many new opportunities and where the goals require transformative changes.1 The starting point for the procurement investigation was that the coming years will involve major changes for government agencies. Technological development, for example, provides entirely new opportunities in a range of areas, from virtual meetings to tools that make it easier to analyse the consequences of different choices. At the same time, the government and the EU's ambitious goals when it comes to reducing greenhouse gas emissions require transformative solutions.
The feasibility study indicates that the portal could contribute to more transformative solutions that can help government agencies to optimise their meetings and mobility. This could allow the government agencies to achieve their goals and reduce their costs by, among other things;
That government agencies receive scientifically verified data when it comes to various environmental and economic consequences of the meetings.
That government agencies can obtain customised information when they need it in the format they require.
That the platform can connect to existing initiatives at the government agencies and build on existing systems for the collection of data enabling the platform to reduce the workload of the agencies.
The platform makes it easier to develop strategies for an increased share of virtual meetings.
Creating a better understanding of all the elements of an agency by allowing customised information to be generated can clarify the consequences of individual choices.
