Innovation partnership with a focus on Care / Welfare
The Market Maturation Fund, in collaboration with Albertslund Municipality, Esbjerg Municipality and Frederikssund Municipality, as well as the Danish Competition & Consumer Authority, is testing the new form of tender "Innovation Partnerships" with a focus on Care / Welfare.
Background: In connection with the new Public Procurement Act, a completely new form of public procurement called "Innovation Partnerships" was opened up. The innovation partnership gives public parties the opportunity to create innovation and solve problems in a new and more efficient way in collaboration with private suppliers, while the public party has an option to buy the solution afterwards.

GPP Case Study- Frederiksberg is, like many European cities, challenged by urban flooding. While sustainable drainage systems (SuDS) are a growing practice in city planning, an ideal solution for Frederiksberg’s dense city streets did not yet exist. As such, the municipality decided to use an innovation partnership approach to procure a customised solution.

Using award criteria to purchase ecolabelled cleaning products- Valencia
GPP Case Study- The Generalitat Valencianais is responsible for procuring goods and services for the public sector for the region. It is committed to including environmental criteria in their framework agreements, so when the need for a new contract for cleaning services arose, the Generalitat decided to include award criteria with a minimum threshold score to incentivize the increased use of co-labelled cleaning products, sustainable paper products, recycled or compostable waste bags and energy efficient vacuum cleaners. A total of 18 suppliers were able to meet the minimum threshold, thus qualifying for the framework.

Framework contract for the supply of cleaning products and services- Greater Porto
GPP Case Study- LIPOR is responsible for waste management in the Greater Porto area, and since 2017, it has also acted as a central purchaser, creating cost effective framework agreements from which municipalities and other contracting authorities can buy goods and services. In 2018, it created a new framework contract for cleaning products and services, including dedicated lots for ecological products and services. The result is a framework contract which rationalizes public expenditure in the procurement process, delivers better values for money, higher quality goods and services and better contract management.

Winning the race to reduce packaging in Barcelona
GPP Case Study- For over 40 years, the La Mercè Race (Cursa de La Mercè) has been held each September as part of Barcelona’s “La Mercè” festivities. The 10km race is organised by the City of Barcelona, and is one highlight among hundreds of free events celebrating the city and Catalan culture.
The race’s organiser, Barcelona Sports Institute (IBE), is committed to reducing the environmental impact of sports events, and it identified waste reduction as a priority in its greening plan for the La Mercè race. It developed an objective, transparent waste reduction criterion, which was easy to evaluate in the procurement process. The winning supplier can deliver t-shirts without plastic bags in reusable crates, which has reduced cardboard waste 75% and avoided 13,000 plastic bags in 2019 alone. The race t-shirts are also certified by MADE IN GREEN OEKO TEX, and are delivered using ECO vehicles
