5. 2. DATA SOURCES
2.1 Previous experiences: The e2i 2010 Action Plan. Lessons learned,
outcomes achieved
• Monitoring the National Innovation Strategy (e2i): FECYT developed a data collection
methodology targeted for all ministerial actions within the scope of the Innovation
Strategy Action Plan, 2010.
• In order to meet the established objectives, FECYT carried out the following actions:
1. Identification of public authorities responsible of the innovation Strategy Action Plan
2. Drafting two templates for data collection:
o calls for tenders
o procurement of goods and services.
The actions of the e2i 2010 Action Plan collected using the template for procurement of
goods and services can be understood as a first approach to an Public Procurement
Scoreboard.

1) Scope:
•Ministries and their managerial departments: 15
•Programmes and actions (calls and procurement of goods and services): 133
•Responsible delegates: 15
2) Main Indicators (good approach although not completely representative)
3) Survey quality:
•Impact indicators: firms, private investment and job creation (actions not focused-
oriented towards them, with the exception of the former Ministry of Science and
Innovation and the Ministry of Industry and Trade)
•Identificaton of actions
3) Data collection: collaboration

12. 3. NEXT STEPS
• (Ongoing) Drafting a template for public authorities bidders responsible of
Public Procurement contracts. It implies identification of:
o ministries and their managerial departments,
o programs and actions,
o responsible delegates.
• (Expected) Defining procedure for validation of main indicators (coming from
state procurement platform): tracking BOE: Spanish “official gazette” and (for
execution) the Spain´s Business R&D innovation survey which asks firms the
value of R&D contracts with the government (both central and local).
• (Expected) Asking procurement questions in innovation cognitive tests.
• (Open proposal) Topic modelling to find out patents and publications on PPI.
• (Open proposal) Using PITEC, the Technological Innovation Panel.
