Value Proposition
2 3
5 5
1
Lessons Actions Need for neutral intermediary but role can be refined
Promote transparency, safeguarding IP & ensuring timeous feedback to participating parties & handover of stages.
Misunderstandings and perceptions around OI
Training workshops and road shows, share success stories. Collective effort will benefit all users.
Risk that seen as a replacement for tender process
Understand and refine value proposition and protect platform role through appropriate governance
Procurement processes do not promote innovation acquisition in the public sector
There is need for a taskforce to make a case for innovation procurement in general including OI
OI creates a platform for SMMEs to access opportunities
There is need to facilitate and help capacitate SMEs to leverage OI opportunities. Possible implementation support and incubation.
Opportunities for collaboration with citizens in service delivery
There is need to promote this value to the public sector and also ensure transparency and effective feedback
