         The purpose of the study is:

         — to develop an approach that enables systematic measuring and monitoring of the progress across different countries in Europe on implementing a mix of policy measures to encourage innovation procurement,

         — the aim is also to collect based on this approach for the first time qualitative and quantitative evidence about the implementation progress, good practice cases and remaining barriers still to be addressed.

         This shall be done in a way that enables to benchmark progress in a comparable way across different countries, across different areas of public sector activity and across strategic expenditure categories, in particular ICT,

         — the objective is also to provide guidelines for integrating such an exercise in the future into existing relevant European yearly scoreboards and benchmarking exercises, in particular the digital economy and society index (DESI) and the European digital progress report (EDPR) for the ICT sector.
