ACTIVE PCP - Pre-CommerciAl ProCuremenT of Innovative Personal ProtectiVe Equipment for First REsponders

ACTIVE PCP is a Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP) project that will procure R&D services to develop innovative Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) solutions for first responders, with a primary focus on firefighters and police (and broader first responder applicability where relevant). The procurement process is preceded by market consultation activities to ensure the tender is grounded in real operational needs and informed by market capabilities. First responder organisations, including police forces and firefighters, are confronted with an evolving landscape of threats, including complex CBRNE and hazardous material (HAZMAT) environments. These situations can result from terrorist attacks, industrial accidents, or incidents involving dangerous goods and require highly effective protection under demanding operational conditions. PPE is a critical enabler for safe and effective response. However, current PPE solutions still show important shortcomings and gaps that increasingly matter in real operations. ACTIVE PCP addresses this by running an innovation procurement process for R&D services aimed at significantly improving PPE performance, usability and operational suitability for first responders.
