Abstract
The promotion of innovation is a key objective of modern public policies promoting sustainable development and public procurement of innovation can be considered as a strategic instrument of such policies as it is clearly expressed by the recent EU Directives on public procurement. The concept and the requirements of public procurement of innovation (PPI) are studied in this paper identifying traditional obstacles to its dissemination and suggesting several initiatives allowing an easier application of this concept compromising legal traditions with innovative rules. Special attention is given to the new Portuguese legal framework transposing 2014 Directives focusing on its new potential but also on shortcomings that should be corrected shortly.
