Buyer-Supplier Patern of Public Procurement for Innovation; The Experience of Supplying 10 Basic Equipment in Oil Industry

One of the important approaches in public procurement for innovation policy is the provider-supplier approach, and this study seeks to provide an appropriate policy framework for developing a Buyer vs. Supplier Perspective of Oil Industry Equipment Innovation model in Iran's oil industry through a case study of supplying 10 essential commodities in the oil industry. For this purpose, a qualitative case study has been used in the research method. Method of data collection in the first step, policy documents and reports related to the ten basic Equipment project and in the second step, purposeful interviews and interviews are semi-structured. The policy model presented in this paper for public procurement for innovation in Iranian oil industry equipment shows the supplier-buyer approach; The policy goal of the 10-item plan was to reduce imports and meet the basic needs of Iran's oil industry, especially in the face of sanctions, and the development of technology and stimulating the demand for innovation was a secondary goal. This issue has been reflected both in the selection of items and in the process of selecting the winners, and has changed the course of policy implementation from demand stimulation tools to in-house procurement policy. On the other hand, the dissolution of the centralized purchasing trustee and executor of the 10 items project, defects in the evaluation system, especially the subsequent evaluation of the approved roadmap, and finally problems in financing the project have disrupted the effective implementation of the policy.
