Horizon Europe offers the following funding opportunities for consortia of procurers:
- To prepare and undertake together PCP or PPI procurements (see the calls for PCP actions or PPI actions).
- To cooperate on identifying opportunities and preparing for future PCPs / PPIs (see the calls for CSA actions)
The funding rates are 100% respectively 50% for the PCP respectively PPI actions. In PCP actions, groups of procurers implement together one joint PCP procurement. In PPI actions, procurers can choose between implementing one joint PPI procurement or several separate but coordinated PPI procurements.
Calls
There are thematic calls that support PCP or PPI in specific domains of public sector activity (e.g. health, security, energy, climate change, satellite, research infrastructure). In addition, there is also an open PCP call that is open to green digital transition challenges in any domain of public sector activity.
The following slidedecks guide you through the core info about the calls for proposals:
- Introduction: "Innovation procurement: a topic of cross-cutting importance for Horizon Europe"
