The building accommodated about 170 children, had never been renovated, consumed high levels of energy, and was approaching the end of its useful life. The City decided to refurbish the building and maintain as much of the physical structure possible. A market analysis, however, indicated that there was no solution available on the Croatian market for the refurbishment of a prefabricated wooden structure; hence a PPI process was launched. Based on an extensive market engagement process and a needs assessment , the City defined the technical solutions it was looking for in terms of outcome-based specifications. The final impact of the procurement and implemented solution was an improved building with an extended lifetime of 25+ more years.

The excellence of the PPI process  was recognized with the Procura+ Award 2020 for "Innovation Procurement of the Year". 

The market dialogue to inform involved market actors in this first of its kind procurement in Croatia to perform a complete reconstruction of a kindergarten building was positively assessed by the jury.
