Verfahren
Titel: Pre–commercial procurement (PCP) to buy R&D (research and development) services to solve circular economy challenges defined by the participating cities.
Beschreibung: This contract notice invites interested operators to submit tenders to this PCP procurement. The procurement is open on equal terms to all types of operators that fulfil the requirements set out in section 3 of the tender document 1 (Request for Tenders) which defines the eligibility of tenderers, exclusion and selection criteria. The procurement aims to trigger new solutions to be developed and tested to address two challenges that correspond to an overarching need to increase the number of concrete practices in the Baltic Sea region that would drive the transition to circular economy. As the common challenge exists of a number of sub-challenges, the procurement is divided into 2 lots as described below in sections for Lots 1 and 2, each corresponding to one sub-challenge. Each of these lots will be split into 2 phases. The CCC project highlights the immense potential of the cultural and creative sectors and industries in the transition to a more circular society and believes that innovations to speed up the circular transition would benefit from the inclusion of these stakeholders in developing the solutions. All tender documents are made available on the project website: https://interreg-baltic.eu/project/ccc/ Each lot of the PCP structured in two phases: • Phase 1: A minimum of 3 operators per lot will be selected, with each receiving up to EUR 10,000 (VAT inclusive) to explore solutions. The process allows for flexibility to fund up to 10 operators if justified. • Phase 2: A minimum of 2 operators per lot will be selected for pilot development, with each receiving up to EUR 33,250 (VAT inclusive). The Buyers’ Group reserves the right to select a lower number of suppliers (contractors) in case no suitable tenders are submitted. In any case the Buyers Group will aim to have at least three suppliers per lot in Phase 1 and two suppliers per lot in Phase 2.

Zusätzliche Informationen: This PCP procurement is a joint procurement by different procurers across Europe that are all facing the same common challenge and are thus looking for similar solutions (so-called ‘Buyers Group’). The procurement will take the form of a pre-commercial procurement (PCP) under which R&D service contracts will be awarded to a number of R&D providers in parallel in a phased approach. This will make it possible to compare competing alternative solutions. Each selected operator will be awarded a framework agreement that covers 2 R&D phases. Each selected R&D provider will be awarded a framework agreement that covers the following R&D phases and a specific contract per phase. The 2 phases are: solution design (phase 1), prototyping and testing plus subsequently original development, installation, validation and field testing of a limited set of first products or services (phase 2). After each phase, intermediate evaluations will be carried out to progressively select the best of the competing solutions. The contractors with the best-value-for-money solutions will be offered a specific contract for the next phase. The phased approach with parallel contracts and intermediate evaluations will be followed within each lot. Testing is expected to take place in one or several of the following procurers’ countries: Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Germany, Poland, Denmark. This testing may also serve as a first customer test reference for the contractors. The selected operators will retain ownership of the intellectual property rights (IPRs) that they generate during the PCP and will be able to use them to exploit the full market potential of the developed solutions i.e. beyond the procurers.

This will make it possible to compare competing alternative solutions. Each selected operator will be awarded a framework agreement that covers 2 R&D phases. Each selected R&D provider will be awarded a framework agreement that covers the following R&D phases and a specific contract per phase. The 2 phases are: solution design (phase 1), prototyping and testing plus subsequently original development, installation, validation and field testing of a limited set of first products or services (phase 2). After each phase, intermediate evaluations will be carried out to progressively select the best of the competing solutions. The contractors with the best-value-for-money solutions will be offered a specific contract for the next phase. The phased approach with parallel contracts and intermediate evaluations will be followed within each lot. Testing is expected to take place in one or several of the following procurers’ countries: Finland, Estonia, Latvia, Germany, Poland, Denmark. This testing may also serve as a first customer test reference for the contractors. The selected operators will retain ownership of the intellectual property rights (IPRs) that they generate during the PCP and will be able to use them to exploit the full market potential of the developed solutions i.e. beyond the procurers.
