Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP)
The Process

Currently no existing solutions adequately meet the needs of People with Multimorbidity (PMM). Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) is a useful approach to the public procurement of R&D services where no near-to-the-market solutions exist yet.

The PCP can compare the pros and cons of alternative competing solutions, and de-risk the most promising innovations step-by-step via solution design, prototyping, development and first product testing.
