This document discusses innovative public procurement in Denmark. It notes that the PCP framework has not been widely used and Denmark is starting small by focusing on functional demands and problem specification. The document also identifies barriers like competencies, culture, and silo thinking. It describes a pilot study that provided grants for innovative public procurement projects and outlines the process used. The pilot included 7 welfare sector projects with 1.6 million kroner in grants and an expected procurement budget over 500 million kroner. Finally, it mentions that the Danish government is launching a strategy for intelligent public demand focused on demand-driven initiatives.
