Scope:Government expenditure on works, goods and services represents around 14% of EU GDP, accounting for roughly annually EUR 1.9 trillion. This represents an untapped potential to stimulate the demand of innovative solutions, notably for innovative small businesses. The public but also private sector could grasp this opportunity to offer new opportunities making use of new technologies or solutions, notably for innovation suppliers such as EIC funded projects and companies. Moreover, innovation procurement allows providing better and more efficient public services to face societal challenges such as climate change, pandemic crisis or sustainable management of natural resources.
Another objective of this topic call is to foster the aggregation of the demand at European level and pull the European market – not only to push the technology – in order to give the possibility for innovative technologies to find potential first and large buyers.
The general idea is to support public and private procurers of innovation to better define their innovation and procurement needs and to better engage with the suppliers of innovative solutions, notably with the EIC community of very innovative companies.
For this purpose the beneficiaries selected under this call topic must provide financial support to these procurers for each of the actions described below.
This call topic will fund structured pilots between buyers of innovations and innovative EIC SMEs, in accordance with public procurement rules, where applicable. The EIC support will cover partially the costs of procurers for the needs assessment, market engagement/consultation, co-development of solutions/pilots and drafting of terms of reference - for the amounts please see section VI.7 of the EIC Work Programme 2021.
With regard to the co-creation of pilots and solutions testing, the beneficiaries selected under this call topic will co-finance via financial support to third parties the development of innovative solutions by suppliers.
The support should take the form of the following 4 actions to be implemented within the specified timeframes.
Action 1: Improved definition of the challenges and the needs of procurers in relation to the solutions they have to buy for their users, citizens, customers, clients or employees.
Action 2: Improved sourcing and consulting of the market players and innovation developers before designing the tender.
Action 3: Stimulation of co-creation of pilots and test solutions.
Action 4: Support to the development of the terms of reference.
For the full decription of the actions please see the EIC Work Programme 2021.
Deadline for applications: 28/10/2021.
Type of action: Coordination and Support Action (CSA).
Indicative budget: The Commission considers that proposals requesting a contribution from the EU in the order of EUR 2 million would allow this specific challenge to be addressed appropriately. Nonetheless, this does not preclude submission and selection of proposals requesting other amounts.
