Pre–commercial Procurement to buy R&D Services to Early Detecting Micro‐organisms that may Determine the Incurrence of Hospital-Acquired Infections and to Controlling the Diffusion of Infections

This Contract Notice invites interested operators to submit tenders to a procurement. The procurement aims to trigger new solutions to be developed and tested to address the following challenges: — reducing both the healthcare and governmental costs and the operational impact resulting from infections caused by MDROs, — improving the appropriateness and effectiveness of antimicrobial medicine usage, — reducing the community and social care impact of MDROs acquired at hospitals through technologies that will transform current surveillance and Infections control systems into new comprehensive systems. This PCP procurement is a joint procurement by different procurers across Europe that are all facing the same common challenge and are thus looking for similar solutions (so-called ‘buyers group’).
