Abstract: Public procurement for innovation (PPI) is an assertive demand-side innovation policy. However, research is behind in understanding the know-how of designing and implementing successful PPI, particularly in developing economies. This study's primary goal is to provide a conceptual framework of influential factors in designing and implementing a successful PPI. To this aim, we did a case study on some projects under the PPI initiative, defined for Iran's oil industry. Reviewing the corresponding literature and analyzing the case materials, including interviews, observation, and documents, our findings suggest a conceptual framework that includes four categories of influential factors in the successful implementation of PPI: contract-dependent, buyer-dependent, supplier-dependent, and infrastructure-dependent factors. This study contributes to the literature on public procurement for innovation policymaking, particularly in the context of emerging economies seeking to catch up, and can also be used as a manual by authorities in the field of technology and innovation.
