The prior information notice has been published and announces an open market consultation and provides information about a planned pre-commercial procurement (PCP) carried out by the procuRE project. The details are published on our website.

The procurement aims to trigger new solutions to be developed and tested to address the following challenge: achieving 100 % renewable energy supply in existing public buildings. The procurers are willing to invest EUR 7.68 million in research and development to address this challenge in their regions, to be prepared in coming years to tackle their combined stock of over 21 000 buildings. procuRE solutions, developed in competition under the PCP instrument, will fully meet the need for decarbonisation of building stock.

This PCP is a joint procurement by different procurers across Europe that are all facing the same common challenge and are thus looking for similar solutions (‘buyers group’).
