14. EU Programme: Horizon 2020
● Research and innovation
● Societal challenges
● Public-Private Cooperation
● Lower innovation barriers
● Reduction of red tape
● Innovation as the main driver for growth
● New instrument = Pre-Commercial Procurement (PCP)
● Public sector as first buyer/launching customer of
innovative solutions
https://ec.europa.eu/programmes/horizon2020/en/what-horizon-2020

15. Pre-Commercial Procurement
Is the procurement of research and development of new
innovative solutions before they are commercially available.
→ Challenge needs radical innovation: no solution 'on' or 'close to'
market yet.
→ Different suppliers competing through different phases of
development.
→ Risks and benefits are shared between the procurers and the
suppliers under market conditions
→ Procurers share the benefits and risks related to the IPRs
resulting from the R&D with suppliers at market price.
→ Separation from the deployment of commercial volumes of end-
products.

17. PCP - Horizon 2020 principles
□ Risk-benefit sharing
□ IPR retained by contractors as much as possible
□ Competitive development in at least 3 subsequent phases
□ Clear separation of R&D and final product
□ Price at market conditions. No state-aid.
□ Prices IPR included/excluded, in order to determine market
price and/or price-reduction
□ R&D is at least 50% of the total contract value
□ Place of performance: at least 50% in EU Member States
and/or associated countries to Horizon 2020
□ Single Framework Agreement
□ Procurers‘ right to publish PCP-results (key R&D results,
lessons learnt)

Contract notice (on
TED)

19. Phase 1 – Concept Design
● Award of a Framework Agreement to a number of
companies + work-order for phase 1
● Concepts may differ, but are solutions to the common
SELECT4Cities challenge.
● Evaluation of phase 1:
⇒ Satisfactory & eligible for payment?
⇒ Successful & eligible for the next phase?
Runs from November 2016 till May 2017
Outcome: Concept design & feasibility study
(conceptual, technological, financial) 19

20. Phase 2 - Prototype
● Validation by means of a small scale living lab
● In order to achieve this, an intense amount of project
management (intermediate between the developers, the
living lab environment and the procurers) will be needed in
this phase
● Evaluation of phase 2
Runs from May 2017 till January 2018
Outcome: Functioning prototype, a test
roadmap, and a preliminary business plan
20

21. Phase 3 – Pilot testing
● The most promising prototypes can apply for phase 3
● Award of a work-order for phase 3
● Testing of the prototypes on a bigger scale, i.e. in a
full-scale living lab environment.
● Same test designs in each of the 3 smart cities and for
each of the use cases. See also the specific use cases
per city.
● Evaluation of phase 3
Runs from February 2018 till February 2019
Outcome: Validated prototypes 21

22. SELECT for Cities - Contract
□ One lead procurer awarding all contracts in the name and on
behalf of all procurers in buyers group
□ One jointly committed budget from which all suppliers are paid.
Estimated value of the PCP: € 2.5 to 4 million, 21% VAT included
□ One joint call for tender published EU-wide
□ One joint evaluation of offers
□ One framework agreement covering all PCP phases + a specific
contract per PCP-phase, depending on subsequent evaluations and
offers
□ Payments per phase
□ Ownership of results of R&D services stay with the suppliers as
fully as possible. Suppliers must grant access rights to the
procurers
□ Suppliers must ensure that results are commercially exploited

The Challenge
Explained
All information contained herein is for discussion purposes
only and shall not be considered a commitment on the part
of Digipolis or the SELECT for Cities Buyers Group.

24. Smart Cities?
Top-down:
- holistic
- total solution
- government in
driving seat
- technology-driven
Bottom-up:
- experimental
- small scale
- smart citizen holds
central position

25. Government as platform for
innovation
● Top-down and bottom-up reconciliation and
integration
● Smart City as a meeting point between public
instances, private sector, research organisations
and citizens
(quadruple helix)
● Additionally challenging in SELECT:
spread over multiple cities

26. A Common Challenge
The common challenge of the SELECT for Cities PCP is the
design, research and development of “cities as linked
and large-scale Internet of Everything (IoE) labs”.
The challenge lies in developing an
open, standard-based, data-driven, service-oriented
and user-centric platform for European cities that
enables large-scale co-creation, testing and validation
of urban IoE applications and services.
This approach fosters the longer-term goal of evidence-
based innovation in cities.

City use-cases
Overview
All information contained herein is for discussion purposes
only and shall not be considered a commitment on the part
of Digipolis or the SELECT for Cities Buyers Group.

32. Goal of the use cases
Testing and validating the different SELECT for
Cities platforms
- connecting the cities Smart and IoT systems
- acting as a IoE Lab for cities
The use cases run in the third and final PCP phase

36. This project has received funding from
the EU’s H2020 Research & Innovation
Programme under GA 688196.
Living Lab Approach
Phase 3 of the PCP
All information contained herein is for discussion purposes
only and shall not be considered a commitment on the part
of Digipolis or the SELECT for Cities Buyers Group.

37. Goal
● Validate vendors’ proposed solutions in a real-
life setting
● Provide the buyers group with more insight in
the relevance, feasibility and applicability of
the solutions in their cities
37

38. Ambition
● Beyond prototype, real-life validation: a
mature proof of concept that can run in a
semi-commercial setting
● Simultaneous and iterative testing in three
cities
● Validated with stakeholders for different use
cases in each city
38

39. What are Living Labs?
Improve digital innovations
by actively involving users
through real-life intervention

40. Why?
This approach requires vendors to:
● Ensure their solution can be applied in different
cities
● Show their solution is generic enough to support
divergent use cases
● Demonstrate their solutions scale across Europe
● Prove vendors can manage real-life operations on
this scale 40

41. Support from SELECT
● Common methodological approach to the tests
● Local support from the SELECT partners in
matchmaking and outreach to stakeholders
● Methods to transform assumptions into facts and
validate the proposed solutions
41

42. Living Labs in SELECT? 5 steps
1. INTAKE - expectations & assumptions
2. PREPARATION - approach
3. BENCHMARK - delta & roadmap
4. PILOT - gradual live trial of solution
5. CONSOLIDATE - results, outcomes, experiences

43. 1 Intake
● Living Lab Validation exercise and feedback to cities
43

44. 2 Preparation
● Agreement on data collection tools and methods
● Agreement on milestones
● Agreement on use case scenarios
● Outreach to relevant local stakeholders with
support from the city partners
44

45. 3 Benchmark
● Highlight the state of the art and the assumptions
to be tackled
● Define an approach to turning these assumptions
into facts
45

46. 4 Run pilot
● Closely liaise with city partners for operational
aspects
● Vendors are supported in each city in relation to
their needs and requests (e.g. setting up co-
creation sessions, engaging stakeholders, deploying
technologies, organising business clinics etc.)
● Definition of three milestones throughout the
living lab test (at the same time in each city)
● Vendors iterate after each milestone based on
feedback from the buyers group
46

47. 5 Consolidate
● Lessons learned from all vendors and cities are
collected and evaluated
● These results are provided to the buyers group to
provide them with more information towards a
potential procurement
47
