About this opportunity

This funding opportunity supports public sector organizations in conducting pre-commercial procurement or innovation partnerships. The program is designed for applicants who have completed a preliminary project and concluded that pre-commercial procurement or innovation partnership is a suitable approach to solve challenges that the public sector cannot address alone. Through this program, public entities can collaborate with the market to develop innovative solutions that do not yet exist. Innovative public procurement involves describing public sector needs and challenging knowledge environments and suppliers to propose innovative solutions. The procurement authority then enters into agreements with the best proposals to develop innovations collaboratively. This approach enables public authorities to modernize their services while suppliers gain reference customers and take leading roles in new markets. The program supports innovations defined as new or significantly improved goods, services, processes, and organizational or governance forms that create value and societal benefit. Applicants must have completed a mandatory preliminary project before applying for this funding opportunity. The program operates on a rolling deadline basis, allowing for continuous submission of applications.
