Pre-commercial procurement of breakthrough solutions for climate proofing of public buildings
Funds a group of public procurers to jointly commission and test new climate-proofing solutions for public buildings, which companies later bid to develop.
This is a Pre-Commercial Procurement action rather than a research grant paid directly to companies: the money funds a consortium built around a 'buyers' group' of public procurement bodies, which prepares and later runs a competitive tender for research and development services. Business or sector organisations, innovation agencies, and similar support bodies can join the consortium to help the b…
The funder wants public bodies to pool their demand for climate-resilient building solutions — favouring nature-based approaches like green roofs and walls — so that companies have a large enough combined market to justify developing new products. It wants the resulting pre-commercial procurement to speed up time-to-market for tested, marketable solutions.
