PUBLIC PURCHASE OF INNOVATION (PPI)

PRELIMINARY MARKET CONSULTATION – ARTEIXIA PROJECT

As part of the Public Procurement of Innovation (PPI) process, the Arteixo City Council has launched a Preliminary Market Consultation (PMC) to identify innovative technological solutions that can address the challenges defined within the framework of the ArteixIA project, linked to the local Urban Agenda. This initiative seeks to promote the participation of economic operators active in the market, in order to gain sufficient knowledge about existing capabilities and better define the technical and functional specifications of future contracts.

This Public Procurement Consultation (PPC) was developed in accordance with Article 115 of Law 9/2017, on Public Sector Contracts, and aligns with the principles and objectives of the FID (Promotion of Innovation from Demand) line of the Ministry of Science, Innovation and Universities. This line is the instrument that provides financial support for Public Procurement of Innovation (PPI) projects, co-financed by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF), within the framework of the Spanish Multiregional Program 2021–2027. The development of this PPC has allowed for gauging market interest, exploring methodological approaches and innovative technological solutions, assessing the maturity of proposals in relation to municipal objectives, and strengthening the foundations for ambitious and transformative public procurement. The contributions received were analyzed using technical, strategic, and impact criteria, and will directly contribute to defining the future procurement file within the framework of the FID line.

PMC OBJECTIVES

The purpose of the CPM is to: Gather innovative proposals that address the challenges described in Annex I. Obtain technical and functional information to design a tender tailored to market realities. Promote public-private collaboration in the development of smart urban solutions.

PROJECT CHALLENGES (ANNEX I)
