Description
Qualitative and quantitative indicators for the action:
- number of applications received for the training course, per country and year
- evaluation of the quality of the training course by participants
- number of participants in the training course
The objective of this initiative is to improve the administrative capacity of the staff with key procurement functions in the Member States.
The initiative is expected to generate a significant impact, given the procurement volume of CPBs operating in Europe at national, regional or local level. Increasing the administrative capacity will also facilitate access of SMEs to public procurement and foster the use of strategic procurement (procurement of innovation, green procurement and social procurement).
This initiative follows the successful implementation of the pilot training course in 2018- 2019 and its follow up in 2020-21.
