Relaunching the country after the Covid-19 virus pandemic by putting the role of public administration at the center and focusing increasingly on digitization. This is the goal of the Recovery Procurement Platform, a plan of reforms included in the National Recovery and Resilience Plan (NRP) intended to radically change the way government procures goods and services. <\/span><\/p>\n

New digital tools, investment in staff training and the use of platforms that speed up and simplify the work of operators become the starting point for initiating a process of innovation that will involve the entire country.<\/span><\/p>\n

The National Recovery and Resilience Plan: new challenges for public administration<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n

Italian public administrations are called upon to play an essential and irreplaceable role in the management of the funds that Italy will receive, over the next 5 years, under the Next Generation EU plan, and are therefore faced with a real revolution in their internal organization and operating methods.<\/span><\/p>\n

In fact, the 230 billion in the plan, on the basis of what was established in the NRP, is disbursed in a precise manner, which includes special procedures for planning and reporting on investments. European funds must be earmarked for the implementation of specific works, which must be completed within the five-year duration of the Plan, and are not paid in a lump sum, but rather on a semi-annual basis and following the achievement of specific milestones and intermediate objectives, which must be specified when the application is submitted. It is the responsibility of the requesting administration to demonstrate, at the end of the six-month period, that it has met the expected targets; otherwise, payment is suspended and may not resume until six months later, upon implementation of all necessary measures to resolve the critical issues and get back on track. If this is not done, there is a real risk of permanently losing European funds: if there is no documented progress for 18 months, funding is suspended and any prefinancing received must be returned.<\/span><\/p>\n

In this scenario, Public Administrations play a decisive role in obtaining and managing funds: for this reason, a specific plan of reforms, the Recovery Procurement Platform, has been envisaged within the NRP, which aims at training public personnel and digitizing purchasing procedures, in order to facilitate the activity of Entities and make the acquisition and management of European funds easier.<\/span><\/p>\n

Given the particularity of the situation we are experiencing and the importance of proper management of funds from Europe, the Italian government has promoted a series of activities aimed at digitizing the activities of the Public Administration.
