ROME (ITALPRESS) – More than 120 billion euros of purchases made available to 14,000 PAs, more than 3 million contracts for goods, services and works offered for at least 350.000 companies (95 percent SMEs): these are the objectives of Consip’s new 2025-2028 Business Plan, approved by the Company’s Board of Directors – composed of Stefano Tomasini (Chairman), Elena Comparato (Vice Chairman) and Marco Reggiani (Managing Director and General Manager) – which outlines a four-year path for repositioning the Company, promoting innovation and business development while ensuring the operational continuity of the services offered to PAs.
For the first time, the drafting of the Plan involved all Consip people, using a design thinking approach. A process that saw the creation of 10 thematic yards, with more than 200 proposals analyzed in workshops with more than 650 participants.
The results led to the identification of 4 strategic levers, 20 lines of intervention and 60 actions for change, which place the Company as a lever for rationalizing public spending on goods, services and works; a connector between P.A. demand and the business system; a tool for sustainable development for administrations, businesses and territories.
“A four-year Plan and more than 120 billion euros of goods, services and works made available to central and local public administrations, managed with competence, security and transparency at the service of citizens, creating alongside the MEF a driver of development for Italy,” comments Marco Reggiani, CEO and General Manager, “with a profoundly new approach to relations with administrations and businesses, based on continuous comparison and dialogue. Among other things: every year, 2 market days and at least 5 product tables. As early as January 2025, annual publication of the Consip Tender Plan.”
Goals
Volume of purchases of goods, services and works exceeding 120 billion euros, including through entry into new markets (works, digital health, public real estate, university research); involvement of 14,000 administrations and at least 350,000 companies (95% SMEs), for more than 3 million contracts; 35% increase in tenders published as early as 2025 and innovative criteria in at least 50% of calls for tenders, through the operational change plan launched in the second half of 2024.
Regarding investments, since the second half of 2024, the implementation path of the Plan has started, with an 82% increase in investments, self-financed, for digital transformation and the creation of an IT ecosystem
advanced, efficient and secure. And in addition, a 2025 budget directed at enhancing people and skills through: organizational development and managerial culture, to design increasingly advanced and innovative procurement tools, promoting a learning organization on a national and international scale; accountability of a “glass house,” to ensure transparency of action, risk oversight and ethical value at all levels of the organization; corporate identity and reputation, to strengthen Consip’s role as a reference for national and international procurement.
Repositioning directions.
New bidding models for the redevelopment of public spending.
“Project-based” tenders, as early as 2025, targeted at strategic initiatives and homogeneous P.A. ecosystems, capable of improving services to citizens (e.g., digital health), thanks to an approach that integrates demand aggregation and customization of initiatives; tender plan aimed at expanding coverage of needs (e.g., public works), increasing quality
and utilization, disseminate innovative criteria in contracts; structuring of tender modalities (lots, frequency, size) that are more in line with administrations’ needs and companies’ offerings.
Ongoing dialogue with central and local governments and businesses.
End-to-end extension of service offerings and oversight on all phases of the public procurement lifecycle: from spending and needs analysis to contract management; development of new dedicated relationship tools: 20 commodity tables and, annually, 2 market days with P.A. and Enterprises; dissemination of the Tender Plan to encourage more effective planning of administrations’ activities and more efficient organization of enterprises; enhancement of data on public spending, also in collaboration with key institutional players.
Evolution of the e-procurement platform.
Design of a customer-centric e-procurement platform, optimizing services, data and processes; development of digital marketplaces to facilitate autonomous purchasing by administrations and support the growth of small and medium-sized enterprises; strengthening of customer care and support services to improve usage and satisfaction
of users.
Implementation of the Plan is accompanied by a redesign of the visual identity-designed to reflect the new
directions and values of Consip – and of the institutional website, completely revised (www.consip.it) to offer a
more intuitive and functional use
The new impetus in the Company’s action is confirmed by the 2024 closure estimates: 27.8 billion euros of purchases made by administrations through contracts (11 billion euros) and digital marketplaces (16.8 billion euros); 18 billion euros of “ready-to-use contracts,” spread over all the main production chains (ICT, health, energy, mobility); 10 million items available on the largest national platform for public purchases, offered
by 220,000 enterprises.
“A company rich in knowledge and expertise at the service of the nation, with people who express a strong passion and team spirit and, even more, a desire to get involved, to continue learning, to invest in the future,” Marco Reggiani concludes.
