Seminar: Pre Commercial Procurement

Pre Commercial Procurement (PCP), an innovative instrument for public procurement.
The seminar, organised by INNOVA in collaboration with the EU project Smart@fire, was an opportunity to illustrate the Pre Commercial Procurement (PCP) model, an innovative instrument for public procurement to be adopted by Public Administrations to promote innovation and overcome needs and societal challenges. The PCP instrument has been promoted at European level since 2007. By 2011, it was officially adopted as a new cross-sectoral financing instrument for Research and Innovation areas supported by the European Commission.
The seminar explained how PCP is applied in practice, what are the benefits and which is the impact for the actors involved, providing evidence of the European dimension of PCP and the Italian experience in PCP deployment. The scope of the seminar was also to introduce the Smart@fire (Smart Personal Protective Systems for firefighters) European initiative supported in the framework of FP7 where the PCP model has been applied to search for innovative solutions for the firefighters equipment during rescue operations.
The seminar was attended by more than 20 people representing public contracting authorities, municipalities and innovative solutions suppliers who had the occasion to interact, exchange knowledge and discuss possible opportunities for future cooperation.
