1 Welcome to Today s Webinar Using the Power of Public Procurement to Encourage Sustainable Innovation Presenter Peter Joyce, Director, Global to Local Dial in numbers UK: US: Access code: SMART SPP is a European project which promoted the introduction of new, innovative low carbon emission technologies and integrated solutions onto the European market. This was done by encouraging early market engagement between public authority procurers and suppliers and developers of new innovative products and services in the pre-procurement phase of public tenders. Join this webinar to learn more about Smart SPP and hear about the innovative technologies developed.

2 SMART SPP - DRIVING SUSTAINABLE INNOVATION Peter Joyce, Global to Local Ltd Supported by: YOUR LOGO

3 Background to SMART SPP Funded by Intelligent Energy Europe Completed September 2011 Mitigating and adapting to climate change Managed by ICLEI Local Governments for sustainability Range of partners including LB Bromley, Barcelona, Cascais Energy Agency, Global to Local and ESPO

4 Key Issues Main objectives Promote the introduction onto the market of innovative highly energy efficient new technologies. Encouraging early market engagement between public authority procurers and suppliers Using the pre-procurement phase Issuing of tenders The problems Research indicates there are innovative products being developed but the lack of demand means products are not reaching the market due to, for example: Lack of information on how procurers can accelerate the market Perceived risk in purchasing new products Lack of dialogue between purchasers and developers

Emerging technologies in focus The challenge to identify

preprocurement regarding Solid State Computers?

5 Emerging technologies in focus The challenge to identify the right technologies Which emerging technologies are suitable for SMART-SPP? Does (O)LED lighting supposedly achieve high energy savings? Are electric vehicle technologies suitable for public authorities in SMART-SPP? What about the level of innovation needed for preprocurement regarding Solid State Computers? Which RES heating and cooling systems are appropriate for pre-procurement? Electric car at charging station LED stoplight LED transparent roof light RES building Notebook (Solid State Technology)

Summary of results Guidance A guidance document for public authorities on how to use the pre-procurement process and market engagement to purchase innovative highly energy efficient new technologies

energy-efficient new technologies have been brought onto the market.

6 Summary of results Guidance A guidance document for public authorities on how to use the pre-procurement process and market engagement to purchase innovative highly energy efficient new technologies Purchasing Published tender documents demanding innovative highly energy efficient technologies and an online database of tenders that apply pre-procurement Market engagement Innovative highly energy-efficient new technologies have been brought onto the market. Emerging technologies that will be explored include computers (solid state computers), lighting (LED-lighting), electric vehicles, and renewable energy heating and cooling. Dissemination and training Local, regional and European events promoting pre-procurement and specific training in the new Member States to raise awareness about pre-procurement Conventional lighting sources Light Emitting Diode (LED)

7 Pre-procurement vs. pre-commercial procurement SMART-SPP

8 7 Step Guide Activity A: Identifying appropriate product groups Activity B: Setting up a project team Activity C: Defining your needs Activity D: Informing the market Activity E: Consulting the market Activity F: Tendering and Contracting Activity G: Tendering for complex projects

9 Life-cycle costing tool Calculates LCC of different products and services Compares CO2 emissions Uses graphs to compare providers Can compare LCC and emissions with current products or services

10 SMART SPP Case Studies Barcelona: electric vehicle charging points and vending machines LB Bromley: LED office lighting Cascais: public outdoor lighting ESPO: LED s in Cambridge Kolding: office lighting
