Opportunities for Pre-Commercial Procurement of Innovation: ICT Solutions for Health, Transport and Government

On 21, 22 and 28 June 2006, regional and local procurers and regional representatives from different Member States participated in three thematic workshops to explore the opportunities for pre-commercial procurement in ICTs for health, transportation and government.

The group developed a list of promising application areas to be explored for potential pilot projects. In addition, the drivers and hurdles for this mechanism were discussed to guide future work on pre-commercial procurement.
