Beskrivning av upphandlingen
The procurement was announced in the form of a pre-commercial procurement (PCP) with a phased approach, i.e. a framework agreement covering 3 R&D phases:
• R&D up to solution design
• R&D up to prototype
• R&D up to original development and validation and testing of a limited set of first products or services.
After each phase, intermediate evaluations are carried out to progressively select the best competing solutions. The contractors with the best-value-for-money solutions will be offered a specific contract for the next phase.
A total budget of 3 360 000.00 EUR was earmarked for awarding the contracts to a minimum of:
- 8 contractors for phase 1
- 4 contractors for phase 2 and
- 2 contractors for phase 3.
Sufficient amount of good quality tenders were received to award the planned amount of contracts (see section V for more information).
