Preliminary market consultations are an instrument or practice carried out during the preparatory phase of the contract, to which contracting entities may resort with the aim of obtaining information on market capacity, the state of science or technology, and informing economic operators about projects and the requirements of future procurements.
Public procurement of innovation (PPI) requires technical and market knowledge that, in many cases, is difficult for a public buyer to gather internally. Market consultation before the tendering process therefore becomes a necessity, in order to investigate, through “technical dialogue” or by other means, the solutions available on the market. For this purpose, independent entities, or the market participants themselves, may provide information that can be used in the planning and development of the procurement procedure.
In this case, the timely communication of the market plans will be carried out through the following means:
- Organization of an informative market consultation session on 5 November 2025. Program of the market dialogue session. 3.2 Informative Session.
- Informative video of the market consultation session:
- Needs assessment information. LINK.
- Video of the market consultation session on 5 November 2025.
