This article examines the challenges and opportunities for novel governance instruments for labour market inclusion of foreign-born citizens, developed by local governments in collaboration with non-profit civil society organisations in Sweden. It is informed by the case of the collaborative arrangements developed between the city of Gothenburg and work integration social enterprises (WISE). The article builds upon collaborative governance and innovation literature and focuses specifically on the first reserved public procurements for buying work training and other services from WISE. Our findings show how a tool that originates from a market governing mechanism can develop into a collaborative governance and innovation instrument. The design and implementation of the reserved procurements set in motion collaborative innovation through creation of collaborative spaces, joint ownership and empowerment, and by turning market governance mechanisms into collaborative governance. First, the ‘looseness’ and ‘openness’ of the governmental arrangements and collaboration spaces created by local actors enabled collaborative innovation. Second, the longstanding innovativeness and collaboration of WISE also played an important role in the development of this collaborative instrument. Third, the small scale of WISE and the larger scale of municipal contracts resulted in scaling up strategies that helped shape collaborative, rather than competitive, practices among WISE, as well as the implementation and diffusion of the innovation. We end the article by discussing the study's implications for collaborative governance and innovation between local governments and civil society.

市场让我们这样做：公共采购和协作劳动力市场包容性治理自下而上

本文探讨了由地方政府与瑞典的非营利民间社会组织合作开发的新型治理工具的挑战和机遇，以将外国出生的公民纳入劳动力市场。它以哥德堡市与工作整合社会企业 (WISE) 之间的合作安排为依据。本文建立在协作治理和创新文献的基础上，并特别关注用于从 WISE 购买工作培训和其他服务的第一个预留公共采购。我们的研究结果表明，源自市场治理机制的工具如何发展成为协作治理和创新工具。预留采购的设计和实施通过创造协同空间、共同所有权和赋能，将市场治理机制转变为协同治理，推动协同创新。首先，当地参与者创造的政府安排和合作空间的“松散”和“开放”促成了合作创新。其次，WISE 长期以来的创新和协作在这一协作工具的开发中也发挥了重要作用。第三，WISE 的小规模和较大规模的市政合同导致扩大战略，有助于形成 WISE 之间的协作而非竞争实践，以及创新的实施和传播。我们通过讨论这项研究来结束这篇文章'
