Public Technology Procurement and Innovation

Part of the book series: Economics of Science, Technology and Innovation ((ESTI,volume 16))

Abstract

Public technology procurement (PTP) occurs when a public agency places an order for a product or system which does not exist at the time, but which could (probably) be developed within a reasonable period. Additional or new technological development work is required to fulfil the demands of the buyer. This is the ‘ideal type’ of public technology procurement.
