Research and Development Project regarding "Distributed European Community Individual Patient Healthcare Electronic Record" (DECIPHER) Pre Commercial Procurement: Solution exploration, Prototyping and Original development of European wide test series of cross-border, mobile, secure and interoperable technologies integrated to access local patient health records
Bidders are invited to tender under this pre-commercial procurement (PCP) procedure for the provision of research and development services to seek solutions for a "Distributed European Community Individual Patient Healthcare Electronic Record" (DECIPHER).
DECIPHER PCP Project, funded under the 7th Framework Programme for research and technological development (FP7), challenges the industry to develop mobile solutions that enables secure cross-border access to existing patient healthcare portals and efficient and safe medical care of mobile patients in EU member states. These solutions shall be of special interest in the management of patients with chronic diseases or unplanned care episodes.
The procedure shall follow the Phased PCP model described by the European Commission in the Communication "Pre-commercial Procurement: Driving innovation to ensure sustainable high quality public services in Europe", Brussels, 14.12.2007. COM [2007] 799 final
http://ec.europa.eu/invest-in-research/pdf/download_en/com_2007_799.pdf) as well as in a EC staff working document “Example of a possible approach for procuring R&D services applying risk-benefit sharing at market conditions, i.e. pre-commercial procurement”. SEC [2007] 1668), being designed as a competitive procedure for acquiring Research and Development ("R&D") services, which enable public procurers to:
— share the risks and benefits of designing, prototyping and testing of new products and services with the suppliers and other stake-holders such as the end-users;
— create the optimum conditions for wide commercialization and take-up of R&D results through standardization and/or publication;
— pool the efforts of several procurers to procure innovation within existing legal frameworks, giving an opportunity to develop different ideas in parallel that, eventually, could be capable of being selected for commercial public procurement in accordance with the Procurement Directives.
In particular, the DECIPHER PCP Procedure shall be divided into four Phases, in such a way that the number of Bidders shall decrease from one Phase to the next one to ensure selecting those that best address the technical challenge on which this PCP is based:
— Phase 0: Initial Selection.- Any bidder shall be entitled to submit a preliminary innovative solution, for which shall receive no payment (no budget nor payments at this stage).
This Phase shall approximately last up to 4 calendar months, being regulated by the provisions contained in this DECIPHER PCP Invitation to Tender (ITT) as well as in the DECIPHER PCP Challenge Brief (CB).
— Phase 1: Solution Design Selection.- A maximum of 9 Bidders awarded with the Phase 1 shall be entitled to submit a final design for an innovative solution, for which each bidder shall receive a maximum payment of 25.000 EUR (VAT excluded).
This Phase shall approximately last up to 5 calendar months, being regulated by the ITT, the CB and, in addition, by two additional contractual documents to be signed by the Bidders when awarded with the Phase 1: a Framework Agreement (FA) with provisions related to the three remaining Phases and a Contract governing Phase 1.
— Phase 2: Prototype Development Selection.- A maximum of 6 Bidders awarded with the Phase 2 shall be entitled to develop prototypes on the basis of the final innovative solutions selected at the end of Phase 1, for which each bidder shall receive a maximum payment of 52.500 EUR (VAT excluded).
This Phase shall approximately last up to 8 calendar months, being regulated by the ITT, the CB and, in addition, by the Framework Agreement signed by the bidder when awarded with Phase 1 and by a Contract governing Phase 2, to be signed by the Bidders when awarded with Phase 2.
— Phase 3: Proof of Concept.- A maximum of 3 Bidders awarded with the Phase 3 shall be entitled to produce and test a small scale products on the basis of the prototypes finally selected at the end of Phase 2, for which each bidder shall receive a maximum payment of 120.000 EUR (VAT excluded), which could be increased in the terms described in Section 4.1.
This Phase shall approximately last up to 9 calendar months, being regulated by the ITT, the CB and, in addition, by the Framework Agreement signed by the bidder when awarded with Phase 1 and by a Contract governing Phase 3, to be signed by the Bidders when awarded with Phase 3.
