      <cbc:Description languageID="ENG">This Prior Information Notice announces an OMC and provides early information in preparation for a future Public Procurement of Innovative solutions (PPI) in the (cyber)security domain to enhance the capabilities of FPS BOSA and other federal agencies with effective penetration testing services (pentesting). 
FPS BOSA aims to purchase penetration testing services to simulate cyberattacks and identify vulnerabilities in systems, networks, or applications. 
A Request for Information (RFI) questionnaire will provide the FPS BOSA with feedback from the market about its main challenge. Suppliers are invited to answer all the questions of the survey (one survey per company). The questionnaire should be filled out online and submitted via the following link: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/BOSA_OMC_Pentesting &amp; in order to submit your request for participation in the OMC Webinar and potential e-pitching session, please follow this link: https://ec.europa.eu/eusurvey/runner/FPS-BOSA-Pentesting_REGISTRATION</cbc:Description>
      <cbc:ProcurementTypeCode listName="contract-nature">services</cbc:ProcurementTypeCode>
      <cbc:Note languageID="ENG">A PIN announces the OMC of a future PPI of pentesting services. PPI is an approach that allows public procurers to buy innovative solutions, and/or include requirements for continuous innovations and improvements in the manner the services are delivered. 
Overall, the OMC aims to: (1) Validate the findings of the preliminary market analysis and the viability of the set of technical and financial provisions. (2) Raise awareness to the industry regarding the potential future PPI. (3) Collect insights from the industry which can be used to finetune the tender specifications and publish a more qualitative tender. 
All OMC activities, including surveys, the Q&amp;A document, webinars (dates and content) as well as registration information will be published for transparency purposes (https://www.publicprocurement.be/). Specifically, all information provided during the OMC and other background information will be published online in English.
Participation in the OMC is voluntary and not a prerequisite for participating in the PPI tender, however, market players are encouraged to participate as their feedback will be useful to finetune the procurement strategy. 
This OMC is performed under the law of FPS BOSA which is Belgian law. </cbc:Note>
