II.2.4)Description of the procurement:

This is an announcement of an Open Market Consultation regarding a future public procurement of innovative solutions (PPI).

For the procurement procedure, a competitive procedure with negotiation or a competitive dialogue will be conducted according to the Greek Law (L. 4412/2016). The candidates qualified based on the selection criteria will be invited to participate in the negotiations/dialogue.

The dialogue will take place in two or three rounds, that follow an informative meeting with all the qualified candidates (when candidates are able to request clarifications) and the submission of an

initial proposal. The dialogue rounds will be organised as individual meetings with the qualified candidates. After each individual meeting, the qualified candidates may be invited to update their

initial proposal by the submission of one or more intermediate proposals. During the dialogue, any element of the tender documentation may be discussed with the qualified candidates (except for the

minimum requirements).

The summary of all questions and related answers will be made available to all qualified candidates, who are still in the race, 10 days before the submission of the intermediary proposal for the next dialogue round. The number of the qualified candidates/proposals may be reduced during the dialogue, based on the award criteria.

At the end of the dialogue phase the qualified candidates shall be invited to present their final proposals.

The best value for money proposal will be evaluated using award criteria such as: technical value of the solution, Cost performance analysis based on the performance evaluation and the TCO evaluation (the most important cost components will be considered), quality of the services related to installation, maintenance and support.
