Storytelling about the Innovative Project
We provide all stakeholders with the story of the innovative procurement project, outlining the relevant context, describing the challenge, and reporting the timeline recorded for the completion of the procedure.
Analysis of the Tender Strategy
We provide analytical data on the strategy adopted by the Contracting Authority in managing an innovative procurement project, including, for example: budget allocation in multi-phase and multi-award procedures, the choice of the number of lots, and the maximum number of participants allowed in the procedure.
Sharing the Experiences of the Contracting Authority
Studio Amica interviews the Contracting Authority, gathering insights from those directly involved in the execution of the innovative procurement. We share anecdotes about the research and development processes, the challenges faced, and the results achieved through the use of innovative procedures.

The Right of Access to Documents and the Principle of Good Administration in Light of Regulation 1049/2001
This document provides a practical summary of a judgment by the General Court of the European Union (T-36/23, 14 May 2025), concerning the right of access to documents under Regulation (EC) No. 1049/2001 and the principle of good administration. It examines how these rights relate to the presumptions of non-existence and veracity of documents by EU institutions. The text highlights the obligation for institutions to retain all relevant communications — including informal ones like text messages — in a consistent and transparent manner. The document is especially relevant for public administrations involved in Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) and Public Procurement of Innovation (PPI), as it emphasizes the need for robust document management and archiving systems, as well as the obligation to provide clear justifications in case of access refusals.
