摘要

This paper presents the initial findings from the first round of a Delphi study, a method chosen for its proven efficacy in fostering iterative consensus-building among a panel of experts under conditions of anonymity, aimed at developing a technology roadmap for integrating emerging technologies into public procurement in alignment with European Union strategic goals. The study engages a panel of experts to identify and assess the potential impact of cutting-edge technologies in revolutionising procurement processes. The methodology section details the selection of experts and the survey’s design, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the current landscape and future possibilities. The results from this round offer valuable insights into the consensus and diverse opinions on various technologies such as artificial intelligence, Blockchain, and data analytics. These findings highlight the key areas of agreement and debate among experts and shed light on the challenges and opportunities inherent in adopting these technologies within the EU framework. The paper discusses the implications of these results for the subsequent rounds of the Delphi study and outlines preliminary conclusions that begin to shape a strategic technology roadmap. This study is pivotal in guiding policymakers and stakeholders towards effective and innovative procurement strategies, ensuring alignment with the broader objectives of the European Union.
