Project description
Specialised services for health innovation procurement
Innovative procurement in healthcare involves complex processes such as needs assessment, market evaluation, supply chain reorganisation, digital transformation, and aligning business models. Participants must understand and address these issues to effectively implement innovation and mitigate risks. The EU-funded HIPSS project aims to assist public procurers (hospitals, health systems, insurers) and innovation providers (SMEs and industry) in the healthcare sector. It seeks to achieve this by establishing and operating a sustainable and scalable platform that offers specialised advisory services on public procurement of innovation. The project leverages the expertise of consortium partners to address challenges, including supporting SMEs, providing consulting services, offering legal expertise on public procurement, and delivering market access, financial access, and innovation support services.
Objective
Innovation procurement in health includes several complex processes including, but not limited to, needs identification and assessment, market maturity assessment, supply value chain rearrangement, digital transformation and reorganisation, demand business case definition and suppliers business models alignment, new roles for value chain actors as suppliers, users, consumers, co-creation of solutions regulated by contracts complying with the EU Treaty principles (transparency, open competition, non-discrimination and equal treatment, proportionality and mutual recognition), value generation along the innovation pathway, investors support and risks distribution between the demand and the suppliers. Such issues should be understood and addressed by all participants in the ecosystem to effectively execute innovation while also mitigating inherent risks throughout the innovation pathway.
The project addresses the critical needs of public procurers (hospitals, health system and insurers) and the innovation providers (Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) and industry) within the healthcare sector through the creation and activation of a sustainable and scalable platform of specialist advisory services on public procurement of innovation.
The solution takes as a starting point the individual expertise and know how built up by each of the consortium partners in their work within the healthcare sector, dating back to 2012, which covers distinct perspectives including providing SME support, incubation and acceleration; providing consulting services on the sides of public procurers and innovation SMEs; providing legal expertise on public procurement exercises; providing access to market, access to finance, and fast tracking innovation support services. Based on the diverse set of experiences the consortium partners have garnered in their own spaces, they are uniquely well positioned to join forces and address the existing challenges in bridging fragmentation gaps.
