Technical requirements: Pre–commercial procurement to buy R&D services in the form of tools for modelling and dynamic assessment of integrated health and care pathways enhancing response capabilities
This PIN provides early information about the expected starting date and purchase volume for a pre-commercial procurement (PCP), and about the open market consultation that is currently in preparation of this procurement. More information about the upcoming open market consultation is provided in section II.2.14).
Within the framework of the DYNAMO PCP project, the procurement aims to procure R&D services in the form of tools that support the modelling and dynamic assessment of integrated health and care pathways enhancing response capacity of health systems. The tools should:
2. Share and integrate cross-sectoral data to accurately forecast outcomes and impacts of alternative pathway configurations
The precise services to be procured will be defined in the call for tenders and considering the market input received during the OMC
All interested operators are invited to take part in this OMC regardless of their geographic location, their size or governance structure.
Procurement will take the form of pre-commercial procurement (PCP), where R&D service contracts will be awarded in parallel to different R&D providers in a phased approach. This will allow alternative, competing solutions to be compared. Each selected supplier will receive a framework contract covering three R&D phases. The three phases are: solution design, prototype development, original development and validation and testing of a limited volume of the first products or services. After each phase, intermediate evaluations are conducted to progressively select the best of the competing solutions. The contractors with the best quality and value for money solutions will be offered a specific contract for the next phase. Price will not be the only award criterion and all criteria will be stated only in the call for tenders documents.
All interested operators are invited to take part in the upcoming open market consultation (regardless of their geographic location, the size or governance structure of their organisation). The open market consultation will be organised in the form of a series of meetings. It will provide you with an overview of the procurement objectives, the PCP process and the main clauses of the contract. You will also have the opportunity to ask questions. The first series of meetings will be held online by each of the procurers mentioned under Section I.1). During those meetings, the procurers will offer presentations in their own local languages, namely Italian, Greek, Portuguese, Spanish and English. These meetings are planned to take place in June 2023: 7th June in Wales (UK), 23rd June in Lisbon, 15th in Barcelona (ES), 13th June in Athens (GR), 22th June in Treviso (IT). The meetings will be followed by an additional international online event, 6th July 2023, in English. Registration and agenda for these meetings will be announced on the Dynamo website on May 2023: https://dynamo-pcp.eu/  .
Interested participants are encouraged to subscribe to the project mailing list, embedded at the bottom of the website, to stay tuned about project updates.
Testing is expected to take place in Italy (Treviso), Greece (Athens), Spain (Barcelona), Portugal (Amadora), and possibly Wales (UK). This testing may also serve as a first customer test reference for the contractors.
The selected suppliers will retain ownership of the intellectual property rights (IPRs) they generate during the PCP and will be able to use them to exploit the full market potential of the solutions developed, i.e. beyond the procurement.
This procurement is funded by the European Union's Horizon Europe Research and Innovation Programme under Grant Agreement No 101095516 — DYNAMO PCP (https://dynamo-pcp.eu). The EU has awarded a grant for this procurement but is not participating as a contracting authority in the procurement.
All information provided during the open market consultation and other background information will be published online in English on the project website https://dynamo-pcp.eu
The PCP procurement is exempted from the WTO Government Procurement Agreement (GPA), the EU public procurement directives and the national laws that implement them (because it concerns the procurement of R&D services where the benefits do not accrue exclusively to the contracting authority for its use in the conduct of its own affairs). This PIN is published to announce an open market consultation on a future procurement procedure. The PIN is not a commitment to procure.
