The Infoday is an informative session designed to present the rationale behind PCP-WISE, introduce the use cases, and explain the technical and functional requirements needed to meet the buyers’ needs. The event will also provide an overview of the Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) process across its three stages, along with key contextual information on Intellectual Property Rights (IPR), funding, and legal aspects. As its name suggests, this session is primarily about sharing details on the PCP WISE intended Call for Tenders, which may evolve based on insights gathered throughout the broader Open Market Consultation (OMC) process.
