Public procurement of innovation for security

Expected Outcome: Project results are expected to contribute to some or all of the following expected outcomes: Last mile support to previous pre-commercial procurement (PCP) actions; Development and deployment of innovative security solutions to address emerging threats, including post-quantum cryptography to counter emerging quantum threats, improving the effectiveness and efficiency of public security services; Implementation of pilot projects and real-world testing, ensuring scalability and contributing to innovative security technologies. Scope: This Public Procurement of Innovative Solutions (PPI) initiative aims to advance the adoption of innovative civil security solutions. The focus is on solutions that have been partially demonstrated on a small scale and are nearly or already available in small quantities but have not yet been widely adopted or produced at scale. These solutions should demonstrate a clear market potential and be new to the procurers, their market segment, or the internal EU market, and must be relevant to procurers across EU Member States and/or Associated Countries. This PPI will specifically target innovative solutions that can address critical challen
