There are not so many off-the-shelf ITS services and solutions which makes purchasing/implementing such services and solutions challenging for public procurers. Challenges public procurers face when purchasing ITS solutions range from uncertainty in costs and time, risks in failed commercialisation of innovation, to difficulties of reviewing or extending contracts. However, many of the challenges can be addressed by innovation procurement procedures such as Competitive Dialogues. City of Copenhagen has used various procurement procedures to implement innovative and sustainable transport solutions which has set an outstanding example to other cities and authorities of using public procurement as an instrument for implementation of ITS. Analyses of the cases of using various procurement procedures have been carried out in order to identify how the city overcome the barriers, and benefits and lessons learnt from the procedures. The analyses aim to provide comprehensive references to other public authorities.
