  1. CIVITAS Forum 19-21 October 2009 Krakow (Poland) Nicole RABU, SEMITAN Anne VICENZOTTI, Nantes Metropole

  2. I. Context • Why COMPRO • European Commission: incentives to develop common procurement: • To harmonise the Demand; • To allow small and medium cities to access to the clean bus market • To build a European market of clean urban transport vehicles • For European cities, the purchase of buses raises questions of budget and technology: currently, single answers to this common problem • CIVITAS cities: more acute awareness of this issue through the CIVITAS experience; CIVITAS Forum l19-21 October 2009 l Krakow (Poland) l Speaker (go to ViewMasterSlide)

  3. I. Context • What is COMPRO? • The partners: • Bremen and its operator BSAG; • Nantes Metropole and its operator SEMITAN; • Gatubolaget on behalf of Goteborg; • Regione Emilia Romagna; • ISIS as coordinator; • To analyse the conditions for a common procurement of clean buses at a European scale • Programme EIE- ALTENER, 2007-2009 CIVITAS Forum l19-21 October 2009 l Krakow (Poland) l Speaker (go to ViewMasterSlide)

  4. II. A methodology in 3 steps: • 1st step: Technology State of the Art • 2d step: involvement of “follower” cities and influential groups • 3d step: Setting up of a Common Procurement Procedure CIVITAS Forum l19-21 October 2009 l Krakow (Poland) l Speaker (go to ViewMasterSlide)

  5. The European questionnaire II. A methodology in 3 steps • 1st step: technology State of the Art • Questionnaire to European cities and operators: 37 answers: all over Europe: different fleets, same questions • CNG and Hybrid: maturity vs. innovation • What is a clean bus and how to measure it?

  6. II. A methodology in 3 steps • 2d step: involvement of “follower” cities and influential groups • Main European stakeholders grouped in the Procurement Management Group (PMG) to assess the evolution of COMPRO: • National Bodies (Italian Ministry of Environment, ADEME) • Regional Authorities (Regione Emilia Romagna) • Local Authorities (LowCVP) • Operators (Transdev, ATM) • Manufacturers (Bredamenarini, Volvo, MAN, Solaris, Irisbus, Evobus) • Networks: UITP, POLIS, ICLEI • EIB • Independent Expert • The opening of the “purchasing” group to more European cities: • BARCELONA / LJUBLJANA / PRAGUE / STUTTGART / MILANO / GÖTEBORG / KRAKOW / TIRANA / TOULOUSE / BOCHUM / ANGERS / CRAIOVA / KARLSTAD / HALMSTAD CIVITAS Forum l19-21 October 2009 l Krakow (Poland) l Speaker (go to ViewMasterSlide)

  7. II. A methodology in 3 steps • 3d step: Setting up of the Common Procurement Procedure: • WHAT TO BUY? • Reaching a compromise over the technical specifications • Partners’ interest converging towards  CNG and mainly hybrid; • But objective to set up a methodology applicable to all technologies • Common technical specifications defined around the UITP tender structure recommendation: 3 steps: • 1st step: gathering specifications from the partners and the follower cities from the basis of the UITP nomenclature; • 2d step: analysis of the specifications, i.e. extraction of a common basis (“common specifications”) and options to be added to this common basis; • 3d step: feasibility of the common bus: is this demand feasible from the manufacturers’ point of view?

  8. II. A methodology in 3 steps • 3d step: Setting up of the Common Procurement Procedure: • HOW TO BUY • Reaching a compromise over the juridical procedure: • Feedback from each partner’s juridical department: • European legislation for public procurement: same rules in each country; • Nothing forbids a common procurement • But no framework defines the process; • Last step: finalization of a compromise over a joint agreement defining the common procurement process.

  9. III. COMPRO: findings and future • Final conference (Nantes castle, December 3 and 4): • Theoretical possibility to launch a Common Procurement but, • Concretization implies the following elements: • Need for actual compromises for each of the partners; • First experience = increased workload and therefore over cost • Hence, the key for Common Procurements lies within: • An active involvement of the manufacturers; • A steady political will; • A strong support from the European Commission; CIVITAS Forum l19-21 October 2009 l Krakow (Poland) l Speaker (go to ViewMasterSlide)
