using public purchasers as “shuttle clients”

to foster professionalism in public purchasing
• Technical dialogue with suppliers and industry (including SMEs) to
improve information available in public procurement processes
• Voluntary harmonization of tendering specifications
• Establishing joint procurement strategies
• Training and dissemination
* (as defined by Directives 2004/18/EC and 2004/17/EC)

there is a culture of sophisticated procurement in various Member States

• Construction Non-residential, residential, infrastructure New design technologies, management methods, “servicisation”
• Protective textiles Fire, rescue, security, police, public transport, defence, medical
• Bio-based Bio-plastics, bio-lubricants
• Recycling Facilities and services
