Summary
The scope of this document is to provide a supporting “hands-on” tool for policy makers and public procurers who want to start testing Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) in their respective countries and need a reference framework with practical guidance on how to establish and conduct a call for PCP.
In recent years, the European Commission has been concentrating more and more attention and interest on PCP issues and investing considerable resources to encourage the use of PCP in Europe developing a policy framework and directly supporting several surveys, programmes, projects and awareness-building and dissemination events.
In this context, the EU-supported Progr-EAST awareness-building initiative, coordinated by INNOVA S.p.A., aims at introducing PCP to public authorities and stakeholders, specifically addressing 5 targeted Eastern European countries: Czech Republic, Slovakia, Poland, Hungary and Slovenia.
Object
This publication aims to introduce innovative procurement strategies and in particular PCP to public authorities and stakeholders in Eastern European countries, illustrating and transferring interesting experiences implemented in other countries.
The PCP Manual is mainly targeted at policy makers and public procurers looking for practical guidelines before setting up a PCP process in their respective countries. With this Manual, the procurer will be “accompanied” throughout the PCP process and provided with suggested solutions, practical examples, templates and useful documentation/material in order to render the process as simple as possible and to reduce (or eliminate) the perceived risks and uncertainty regarding the design and the practical implementation of a PCP process.
This document consists of a draft document and will be further enriched and customized with information gathered in the target countries before being published at the end of the project.
