Transmission of EGNOS corrections using AIS stations and IALA beacons, port operations
Innovative high accuracy solutions (e.g., RTK, PPP)
Solutions for efficient energy network
Monitoring of infrastructure
Other ideas: EGNSS for drones, crisis management; SAR
New innovative procurement tools for Galileo applications R&D (pilot in H2020 and full action in Horizon Europe) to:
- establish long-lasting cross-border working relationships among public authorities;
- stimulate the industry competitiveness (through a selection of suppliers competing to develop the product);
- develop innovative EGNSS enabled products that meet public institutions’ needs create public market for Galileo
Examples of applications for EGNSS PCP/PPI:- identify the public authorities that
could benefit from the EGNSS applications PCP/PPI and put them in contact with GSA;
- support dissemination of the newtool (e.g. through info days dedicated to the interested audience).

Horizon 2020 support for Pre-Commercial Procurement
Pre-Commercial Procurement actions aim to encourage public procurement ofresearch, development and validation of new solutions that can bring significantquality and efficiency improvements in areas of public interest, whilst openingmarket opportunities for industry and researchers active in Europe. It provides EUfunding for a group of procurers (‘buyers group’) to undertake together one jointPCP procurement, so that there is one joint call for tender, one joint evaluation ofoffers and a lead procurer awarding the R&D service contracts in the name and onbehalf of the buyers group.
The solution sought lies beyond the state-of-the-art and there is no available solutionon the market yet. R&D is needed to de-risk technology, still competing solutionapproaches to compare and still too risky to commit to go for large scale deployment.The Public Sector procures R&D to get new solutions developed and tested throughPre-Commercial Procurement (PCP)
What is innovation procurement
Why European cooperation on PCP-PPI?
• Every year, over 250,000 public authorities in the EU spend around 14%of GDP (c. €2 trillion) on the purchase of services, works and supplies
• Public authorities are the main purchasing bodies in many domains:energy, transport, waste management, health and education
• The public procurement has the potential to boost our economies:more jobs, growth and overall to create an economy that is moreinnovative, resource and energy-efficient, and socially-inclusive
• A modern, well-managed and efficient procurement is fundamental toprovide high quality public services
• Improving public procurement can yield big savings: a 1% efficiencygain would correspond to €20 billion per year in savings
Why are we looking into innovation procurement ?
• Galileo and EGNOS produce a wealth of positioning, navigation and timing data, useful to develop new/ enhance existing services
• Public sector is an important user of EGNSS applications: Via pre-commercial procurement, EGNSS applications can be adapted to the specific needs of public authorities
• Suppliers: interested in public sector as “first customer” for innovative EGNSS products
• Growing impact/ importance of innovation procurement in Horizon 2020
• Increased use of innovation procurement instruments in ICT, security,transport, health etc.
• Increased funding for PCP/ PPIs in Horizon 2020
• 2019: PCP/PPI calls in a value of 83 €m
• 2020: PCP/PPI calls more than 100 €m
• Positive results (new players, SMEs, universities, research etc.)
In addition, other entities can also participate
- In buyers group: also private/NGO procurers providing services of public interest
- In coordination/networking activities: any private/public type of entity (e.g. experts, end-users, certification bodies that assist procurers) that has no conflict of interest (no potential suppliers of solutions for the PCP/PPI)
Sole participants can be also eligible if the minimum conditions are met by the legal entities forming the soleparticipant (e.g. central purchasing bodies, European Research Infrastructure Consortia, European Groupings ofTerritorial Cooperation)
Public procurers are contracting authorities or contracting entities as defined bythe EU public procurement directives
*MS = Member States, AC = Countries Associated to Horizon 2020
Minimum 3 independent participants from 3 different MS or AC*, of which minimum 2 public procurers (buyers
group) from 2 different MS or AC
PCP– participation requirement
• PCP to steer the development of solutions to concrete public sector needs, while comparing/validating alternative solution approaches from various vendors + possibly first deployment (non-commercial volumes)
• PPI to act as early adopter / first buyer of commercial volumes ofinnovative end-solutions newly arriving on the market
Complementarity PCP and PPI
Buyers group
Procurers in the action that provide the financial commitments for the PCP
Minimum 2 public procurers from 2 different Member States or Associated Countries
Representing the demand side (responsible for acquisition and/or regulatory strategy, or having a mandatefrom one of more of such procurers to act on their behalf in the procurement e.g. central purchasingbodies)
Seeking ambitious quality and/or efficiency improvements in services of public interest
Lead procurer
Procurer appointed by buyers group to lead and coordinate the PCP. Can be one of the procurers in the buyers group or another procurer.
Beneficiaries and third parties
Action involves beneficiaries that undertake together the PCP procurement, i.e. the buyers group &the lead procurer
Action can include third parties that can make in-kind contributions (make available resources/equipment to the beneficiaries to carry out the PCP. E.g. end- users (fire brigades) as 3rd party associatedto procurer/beneficiary (min. of interior)
Subcontractors
Successful tenderers, selected by the buyers group & lead procurer as result of the PCP call for tender, toprovide the R&D services. They do 'NOT' enter the grant agreement with the EC and are not paid by theEC

Procurers
Suppliers- Shorter Time to market- Faster company growth- Economies of scale- Wider market
- Cheaper / better products
- Lower risk of modernization
Coordination and Support Actions (100% funding rate): Support only coordination activities e.g. preparation of a PCP or PPI by a group of procurers
(investigating feasibility to start PCP/PPI, open market consultation with industry before initiating a concrete PCP or PPI etc)
CSAs do not provide EU co-financing for an actual PCP or PPI procurement
PCP Actions (maximum 90% funding rate): Provide EU co-financing for an actual PCP procurement (one joint PCP procurement per
PCP action) + for related coordination and networking activities (e.g. to prepare, manage and follow-up the PCP procurement)
PPI Actions (35% funding rate): Provide EU co-financing for the actual PPI procurement(s) (one joint procurement or
several separate but coordinated PPI procurements per PPI action) + for related coordination and networking activities (e.g. to prepare, manage and follow-up the PPIprocurement(s))
Forms of support
Reimbursement rate direct costs: Max 90% of eligible costs for PCP actions
Eligible direct costs to carry out eligible activities defined in WP include:
- Price of the R&D services (PCP) procured (if procurement conducted in compliance with requirements in Annex E WP)
- Eligible coordination and networking activities
- May include in-kind contributions (e.g. third parties putting resources at disposal of beneficiaries e.g. for testing of solutions)
- VAT is an eligible cost unless for beneficiaries that can deduct it
Requested reimbursement for coordination and networking activities can comprise max 30% (for PCP) of total requested grant
Plus 25% for indirect costs. But, no indirect costs on the price of the PCP procurement or on 3rd
party resources not used at the beneficiary premises
Pre-financing: Yes, 1st pre-financing at start project for costs for preparation
stage, 2nd pre-financing before execution stage for rest of costs (incl. call for tender)
PCP– EU contribution
In their proposal, consortium shall have already identified one concrete procurement need as proposed focus for the PCP that is identified as acommon challenge in the innovation plans of the buyers group and requires R&D!
One joint call for tender published EU wide
One joint evaluation of offers based on common tender specs
One lead procurer awarding all contracts in the name and on behalf of all procurers in buyers group
Each winning tenderer gets: 1 framework agreement to participate in thePCP+ one specific contract per PCP phase (solution design, prototyping, testing)
One joint total budget (grouping financial commitments of all procurers in buyers group) from which all R&D providers are paid
But, actual payments can be carried out centralised ordistributed
Either all R&D providers paid by the lead procurer
Or each R&D provider paid pro rata by each procurer in the buyers group according to the share of each procurer's contribution to the commonpot
Also supervising suppliers and testing of solutions can be centralised or distributed
Choice between testing all solutions of all R&D providers in 1 procurers siteor on several sites procurers sites etc
One joint PCP coordinated by the lead procurer
PCP are NOT new public procurement procedures. They are approaches to use existing public tendering mechanisms in such a way - to optimise the innovation outcome (best value for money for procurer) - to optimise growth opportunities for suppliers
PCP and PPI: legal framework
PCP
• Open tendering
• R&D services procurement (possibility to buy also end-product)
• IPR sharing between supplier (keeps IPR ownership) and procurer (right touse/license)
• Multiple sourcing (# suppliers)
• Phases (FW contract for the PCP + specific contracts/phase)
• Job creation (majority R&D done in EU MS or associated countries)
Exempted from EU public procurement directives, WTO
(for more info on legal framework: see background slides)

All starts from the definition of a shared EGNSS-related need
Considering the pilot, rather small consortia and focused scope of application will
help shaping a manageable project
Inform yourself of any relevant legislation, standards, IPR and certification in the
EGNSS area of application you consider. Resources and initiatives such as EAFIP
provide useful guidance on the aspects to be addressed
To this end, if knowledge gaps are identified, engaging experts to cover these
technical aspects can positively impact the quality of both the proposals and the
project
The more you can learn about the state of the art of the offer, the most efficient and
effective the procurement will be
In the frame of innovation procurement projects, communication is particularly
important – both with other procurers and potential suppliers
