2 Overview Eurpean FP7 prject ( ) t develp smarter firefighting suits by cuntries (Belgium, the Netherlands, France, Germany, UK, Hungary) 2,2 M supprted by the Eurpean Cmmissin (FP7), IWT, IBZ and SDIS 13 7 wrkpackages fr a successful cmpletin f the challenging bjectives 2

4 Objectives Reduce the risks inherent t firefighting and civil prtectin wrk by creating the firefighting suit f the future thrugh the integratin f innvative ICT slutins in Persnal Prtectective Equipment (PPE) Create a cmmnly agreed pre-cmmercial prcurement (PCP) apprach that can be deplyed and duplicated in the EU 4

5 1. What is Pre-cmmercial prcurement?

6 Prcurement f innvatin = prcurement f innvative slutins, gds and services (new t the prcurer but slutins available n the market r clse t the market) Pre-cmmercial Prcurement = Prcurement f R&D-services is a phased apprach f purchasing R&D services by prcurers fr the develpment f innvative prducts, services r prcesses (nt yet availablen the market) by enterprises/research centres with as gal (A/16f): T slve sci-ecnmic challenges T imprve the perfrmance, functinality f public services 6

7 2. The Pre-cmmercial prcurement methdlgy f the Innvatin Agency f Flanders?

8 PCP in 4 phases Phase 1: Needs assesment f firefighters & state-f-the-art Phase 2: Innvatin Platfrm Phase 3: Pre-cmmercial prcurement Phase 4: Cmmercial purchasing As market cnsultatin Develpment f prttypes Purchase f a final prduct 8

9 1. Needs assesment state-f-the-art

10 Needs assessment Hw t increase the safety and reduce risks f first respnders undertaking fire fighting and ther civil prtectin wrk?

11 Needs assessment 961 EU fire brigades tk part in a large scale survey. In BE, FR and UK a face t face needs assessment was held with 15 firefighters brigades/cuntry. This shwed innvatin expectatins fr: ICT lcalisatin systems ICT slutins fr remte cnnectivity & visualisatin systems Sensrs All f this integrated in the smart firefighting suit. Identifcatin f the innvatin ptential frm a User s pint f view 11

12 Needs assessment Lcalisatin Determine psitin f the firefighters Visualisatin & remte cnnectivity Sensrs Better assess situatins and transfer data t external unit Measure envirnmental parameters and vital functins 12

13 State-f-the-art A state-f-the-art study n PPE and ICT-sltuins was carried ut by the University f Ghent, Centexbel, Addestin t determine what kind f slutins exist tday n the market. Certain slutins seem t exist, fr example sme cmpanies have already develped integrated temperature sensrs. Often frm US & military rigin 13

14 Phase 2: Innvatin Platfrm As market cnsultatin 2. Innvatin platfrm

15 Enterprises and Research Centres active in ICT and PPE 5 Prcuring entities = EU fire brigades 15

16 Market cnsultatins Brad publicatin in OJEC and Natinal Official Tender Jurnals and disseminatin thrugh business rganisatins (Euratex, CCI, EEN-netwrk, ) Identificatin f the innvatin ptential Technlgical pint f view Feasability check & risks assessment Frum fr supply side t meet each ther (cnsrtia) Market cnsultatins in three cuntries, the sessins cncerning the integratin f the ICT in PPE is dne lcally. 16

17 Market cnsultatins Belgium (Brussels, 10 & 11/9) Lcalisatin systems Integratin f ICT slutins in PPE France (Marseille, 17 & 18/9) Data transfer & visualisatin systems Integratin f ICT slutins in PPE Germany (Drtmund, 1 & 2/10) Sensrs Integratin f ICT slutins in PPE Wrap up sessin (Brussels, 10/10) Final cnclusin and netwrk event Subscribe fr the sessins 17

18 3. Pre-cmmercial prcurement phase

19 3. Pre-cmmercial prcurement phase Phase 3: Pre-cmmercial prcurement Stage 1 Slutin explratin Stage 2 Stage 3 Prttyping Testingfirstbatch f cmplete prducts 19

20 Pre-cmmercial phase Gal: acquire knwledge and btain access t an innvative slutin Develpment f wrking prttypes in different stages: Slutin explratin (cncept) Prttypes Testrange f PPE with integrated ICT slutin, all with a view t mass prductin Own prcedure/methd utside f the existing tendering prcedures (A/16f RL 2004/18 EG) Negtiated/ cmpetitive dialgue prcedure are nt adequate fr prcuring R&D Cnditins: Risk-benefit sharing - C-investment (price reductin) IPR as much as pssible t cmpanies Price paid at market cnditin (nt R&D csts) Min. 2 prttypes 20

21 Pre-cmmercial phase Evaluatin critria One single cntract: Assignment f cntractrs fr R&D services fr the successive phases f the PCP, at prices freseen in the ffers Cnfidentiality f the fregrund knwledge (vs backgrund knwledge) Cnditins: Risk-benefit sharing - C-investment (price reductin) IPR as much as pssible t cmpanies Price paid at market cnditin (nt R&D csts) Min. 2 prttypes 21

23 Advantages f PCP In depth identificatin f the user /prcurer requirements thrugh a unique needs assessment methd; Early dialgue between the business wrld and the prcurers (bridging the demand and supply side); Are the innvatin expectatins in line with market maturity/capacity Users are active participant f the innvatin prcess Develpment f tailr made innvative slutins fr the faces challenges PCP falls utside the rigrus prcurement tendering prcedures Risks benefit sharing principle The phased apprach and market cnsultatins prepare the cmpanies better fr the final tender New partnerships and cllabratin pprtunities PCP based n functinal requirements (traditinal prcurement) Flexible apprach allwing negtatins Supprt business in their innvatin and R&D effrts Prcurer act as launching custmer = Diffusin f innvatin Prtectin f IPR 23

24 4. Final jint EU tender

25 Final jint EU tender Based upn psitive test results, EU fire and rescue services will purchase the develped smart suits by launching a final jint EU tender (fire brigades frm all ver Eurpe) Phase4: Cmmercial purchasing Purchase f a final prduct 25

26 Pre- Cmmercial prcurement (PCP) as methd Prcurement netwrk t bundle demand Innvative ICT-slutins in PPE Prmte and duplicate the use f PCP PCPis a suitable slutins 26
