Definitions - SEC(2011) 1427 final
Procurement: contracts in order to obtain, against payment of a price the supply of movable or immovable assets, the execution of works or the provision of services. This may include:
(1) Public pre-commercial procurement, which is an approach to procuring R&D services which involves risk-benefit sharing under market conditions, and competitive development in phases, where there is a separation of the R&D phase from deployment of commercial volumes of end-products;
(2) Public procurement of innovative solutions, which refers to the case where contracting authorities act as a launch customer for innovative goods or services which are not yet available on a large-scale commercial basis, and may include conformance testing.
Large-scale public intervention in research and innovation is needed, through both supply and demand measures, such as pre-commercial public procurement of innovation

Opinion of the Committee of the Regions on ‘Public procurement package’ (2012/C 39 1/09)
finds it regrettable that some new proposals are also difficult to understand and extraordinarily detailed, as well as adding a number of new provisions. Certain provisions to facilitate procurement have also been added, but other new additions add to the administrative burden on contracting authorities despite the fact that legal stability is required in order for public procurement to be carried out smoothly;
believes that it is certainly possible to develop simpler – but no less effective – rules for procurement, as demonstrated, not least, by the fact that the WTO's Government Procurement Agreement (GPA) is much simpler than the equivalent EU rules. The Commission is asked to significantly increase the thresholds for procurement. Given that a minuscule percentage of public procurement is cross-border, and in view of the administrative burden the regulatory framework creates for authorities and suppliers, the thresholds do not need to be as low as they are;
A simple regulatory framework would be useful in this context, too, as such enterprises do not have access to experts in procurement law and other fields. Businesses are experts in their own goods or services, not in procurement rules.

Pre-commercial Procurement (PCP): Contexts for Application
Complexity
An approach to innovation using demand rather than supply
Public sector organisations can choose between Procurement of Innovation and Pre-commercial Procurement
Legally complex
Innovation Partnerships in the new version of the Procurement Directives brings new approach
Increasing interest
Recent adoption in the EU and MS, styled on US SBIR
As legal framework based, variety in applications:
Range of schemes (EU, MS outside the EU)
Scale of application: local/ regional, national, cross border
Agency based (NL Agency (NL), TSB (UK), versus procurer/user

Aims and Objectives
Explicitly (not necessarily new or different)
Prototype / idea IPR? capable of commercialization or decision not to go ahead
Direct Public Sector
Catalytic Private Users
Shared Needs – Cooperative Public Private
Gateway to a product or service but not a guarantee *risk*
IPR use rights in public hands
Objectives achieved by competition and new method > greater speed of innovation + closer match to user needs + leverage
Cross border
Implicitly
Capabilities in firms (winners and losers)

Evaluation of PCP: Process / Procedural
Start with the specification – who is involved?
Meet the needs of the potential users?
Correct application of the procedure to the problem?
Cross border?
Market potential?
External justifications (supervision) of procedures?
Operational costs of implementing a procurement?

Evaluation of PCP: Impact
In the Firm
New firms??
Firm growth (turnover, employment profitability)
IPRs (ready made valuations in the Procedure (ref Cordis FAQs))
CA must pay market price > (costs – market present valuation of commercialisation opportunities)
Publications
Skills
Post PCP performance
Takeovers – 3rd party investment
At the Procurement
Valuable IPRs licensing, for public benefit
Connection to real procurement – to Phase 4
PCP Modes: Direct or Catalytic or Cooperative
